I should have known... (A Mommy Blog)

I should have known:

when we were deciding & 'trying' to get pregnant with you, when I could feel you, a little madman, growing inside my belly, when it took 17 hours of labor for you to come out, when we spent 4 days in the hospital for jaundice...

I also should have know when:

you spent the next 6 weeks screaming your head off,

breastfeeding constantly, surprising us with how quickly you developed...

I should have guessed when:

your first word was DaDa, you began walking, right on target, on your 1st birthday, when I had to leave you with a sitter for the first time, when I cried the whole night before, when we had to find another sitter, and I cried the entire way to work,

Well, you see, I should have known.

I should have guessed how much you would effect our life, but I didn't.

It has been the best 2 years I could imagine and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it any other way. You are a blessing to us and we cannot imagine our lives without you. I love you, Grayson and thank you for all the joy you bring to us EVERY day.
