Georgie had his first birthday party on September 17th 2009. We celebrated at home. Grandma and Grandpa bought you balloons, (your current favorite thing) and a musical book, and we bought you a half moon baseball cake for you to dip into.
Earlier that day, you Auntie and I took you out for lunch, (or us to lunch 
) and I got to spend a little time with you during my work day. Prior to that, you had been shopping and had a full day with your Auntie.
So, that night when you dipped into your very first birthday cake, it brought back wonderful memories. All the memories of one year, somehow combined so quickly into what seems like minutes. I was so happy that you were having your first birthday with the people that loved you most.
That weekend was your party, September 19th. We had a HUGE party for you daddy! We had a bouncie, 2 pinatas, grab baggies, inflatable super bats and your Daddy bar-b-qued for all of your family. It was a wonderful night that lasted until the wee hours of the morning. You were a very blessed boy and recieved loads of gifts. You also got to dip into another cake that night. A cake that your Nino and Ruby got you. It was green and by the time you were done with it, you looked like a green HULK! You went to bed around 10:30 that night and I followed shortly after. We fell asleep together in the bed, very similar to our first night a year ago. (Although this time, I wasn’t nervous to change your diaper!)
I love you so much daddy. I am so glad you had a wonderful birthday. Even though you may not understand that ALL of that was for you. We have pictures and memories to look back on. And as long as you had a wonderful day and night, that’s all that matters to me.
I had another ultrasound for bebe #2, which I have decided to name, butterball at this time. I was very nervous going into that appointment, thinking that I would not see a heartbeat, (all the fears my doctor had put into my mind about a possible miscarriage.) But sure enough I saw you, my little butterball. You had grown 4 times what you were the previous week and a half. You were a big round blob, big for 8 weeks. I measured ahead, like I did with your big brother. And there was the heartbeat. In the 160′s. I started crying out of joy and relief, because I just didn’t know what I would do if I didn’t see a heartbeat.
I was so very happy.
So far, being that I am at 10 1/2 weeks. I have only had boughts of brief morning sickness and food aversions. I have been on pregesterone like I was with Georgie and that is always fun, but I will do what I have to do.
I can’t wait for our next appointment to see our little butterball again!
