My 2 lb. 14 oz preemie is now a 30 lb. toddler and a very sweet one at that.
I've been finding myself reminiscing about the past three years while poring over photos to make Cory's Third Year picture montage. They went so fast. I tried to drink in every minute of it, knowing it would fly by, but I know there are so many moments that I have forgotten.
Seeing Cory turn three makes me long for another baby. I had really anticipated having another baby by now, a sibling for Cory, another sweet blessing in our family. But life had other ideas. I need to overcome my health challenges first and I have no idea how long that will take. Months? Years? Only time will tell and until then I need to practice patience and concentrate on being grateful of what we do have instead of what we don't. We've always talked about adopting a baby too and we agree it's something we'd both like to do. Recently we've been talking about it and looking into getting started with the process so we'll see what comes of that as well.
As Cory's birthday fast approaches I know there will be more weepy moments, more "remembering when" and then time will move on...and then he'll be four. Before we know it he'll be eighteen. Time really is precious and it really is something to never take for granted.
Cory is turning three?!
