Bea's birthday is this weekend.
I have been so busy, I haven't even had time to process it.
We had a big party lat weekend, with my parents and sister in town, and my ILs here and staying through this week.
Sunday we are going to CA to introduce Beanie to her great-grandmother.
I want to write Beanie a love letter, and tell her all the things that she does now and that she is to me. And I will bake her a cake. And she has some presents to open. And I plan to kiss her plump cheeks a thousand times*. And the camera will come out.
But somehow, tonite, given a few seconds to think about it, it feels kinda anticlimatic.
Should I be gnashing my teeth because Serenity is not here? Should I be bouncing off the walls because I've managed to keep Beanie alive?
Or, does a day on a calendar not really matter when every day is important?
*normal days it's probably 999 times.

Serenity Joy almost made it into this world alive, but almost doesn't count. Her little sister did make it.
When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.

Well done, mama. One is such a huge milestone, not just for baby, but for mama as well. You've been through so much to get to this point. I hope the day is full of joy and 1001 kisses!
You will certainly miss Serenity on the day, but that's not unlike any other day. I found Angus' birthday, it was one rare occasion where the joy really did outweigh the sadness.
Happy birthday, gorgeous baby girl.

Oh, little Bea, one? I am saying that as I see Thor's birthday two weeks away on the calendar. Little beautiful girl. She is loved the world over. xo
The recognition and celebration of Evangeline turning one was a big deal to us, her actual birthday day though, not so much. I worked, it was a day like any other, it was a weekday. We just celebrated on the weekend. Like you said, every day is special.
Happy First Birthday little girl. :)
It just get's better and better from here, Evangeline is such a hoot, I love it.
She's already a year?! Wow! Happy Birthday Precious one.
I agree, every day is special. Ethan is 1 year and 9 days older than Sara, their birthdays almost feel intertwined. His first - I really wanted to celebrate so we had a party with our families.
Wow I can't believe it's been a year! Happy birthday Bea!! I hope you are all joyful, it is such a happy occasion.
Happy Birthday to Bea!!
What fun emotional work-out's we get as babylost mamas. ((hugs))
Happy birthday, Bea! : )
Wow!!! One already! I hope she had a wonderful day (and I hope you enjoyed it too!)
You celebrate her everyday. A first birthday is fun and sweet and seems much more important when you never got one before.
Happy Birthday, sweetie!
