funny what 'warnings' you're given before getting pregnant:
- you won't care about that weight once the baby's here
- you won't remember life before the baby once the baby's here
- having a baby inside you is...WEIRD
All of which were true for me.
and then they warn you about havinggggg the baby:
- the contractions are painful but you can do it!!
- push like you gots to shit (best advice I ever received cause I got that baby out in 6 small pushes and 10 minutes...thanks Erin!:)
- it's all worth it and like a tattoo, you'll forget the pain immediately and want to do it all over again right after
Again, all things that turned out true in my experience:)
BUT what about:
- they grow up right before your eyes...in the bat of an eye...
i don't feel I was properly warned or prepared for that to happen. Or so quickly:'(
we went to watch my nephew, Tayt, be the miniature King at the High School Prom last night. He's 6:) Watching all those High Schoolers got me thinking...this will never be Homer. This day is NOT going to come. It can't!! But I fear that I'll go to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow helping him adjust his tie...
here's a super quick video I threw together! We've taken a few videos since Homer's been born and I'm so glad we have. I really need to remember to do that more often cause these videos are some of my most prized possessions:)
i'm hoping to make a little bit longer one and include his birthday festivities...expect to see that coming in the next month!
enjoy:)
LOVE the video, made me cry! You are doing an amazing job with pictures of Homer growing up!Something to have forever! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mom:):)
DeleteLove it...and thanks for it !!! Keep 'em coming ! bz
ReplyDeleteThere will for surely be more to come! Thanks little Brenda:):)
DeleteMan, make me tear up over here! That was a great video!! I love watching him grow up via video. So cute! (And just one note because I'm sure Court will appreciate time not going faster than it is - Tayt is 6:). He might as well be 50 though with how wise he is! Keep these videos coming. LOVED it!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! I'm glad you liked it Nae! Damn it...I had a feeling I was doing that math wrong, got it corrected now!:)
DeleteDon't feel bad. The ONLY reason I remember his age is because he was born on my 21st birthday, ha! Aside from Peyton (whose easy to remember since he was born in 2000), I can't remember the rest for the life of me, ha! Again, great post!!
DeleteOh, and sorry to blow up your comments, but just wanted to also say that I love the song you paired with the video! It seemed perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nae:) Took me a while to find something that worked and I thought this one was perfect:):)
DeleteLove everything about this post...so frickin true!! And the video was very close to having me in tears...and I'm not a crier! I don't have many video's of Jack but I look back at pictures and keep wondering where the time has gone, it seems like we just brought him home from the hospital a couple weeks ago, but instead he turned 1 a few weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe our boys are already a yearrrrr! Dang it:( It seriously seems like yesterday that I was in the car headed somewhere and heard you had had Jack and I was like...ME NEXT!!!;)
Deletethis is amazing! wish I took more videos... new goal: take more videos!
