Everett turns one next week. How is this humanly possible?

This past year has been filled with so many firsts for me as a parent and mother. But waking up and realizing that in a few short days my baby boy is going to be one is very bittersweet. My heart swells with pride over the beautiful child my husband and I created, yet I still somehow have a hard time grasping it all.

From the belly laughs to the tearful tantrums, our lives have been forever changed. For the good.

Making the choice to bring a child into this world is something that I did not take lightly. To me it is both selfish and selfless. He will forever be mine, but I will forever be his.

I love you Everett Meyer.
