Colston is 11 months old today!
One more month and I will no longer have a baby, I will have a toddler.
This absolutely blows my mind.
I was thinking back to what I was doing this time last year. This time last year I was packing to live in Las Vegas for an unforeseeable amount of time. I had doctors appointments sometimes two times a week down there with a doctor I had never met before in a city that I had never been to before. It was so scary.
Then I look at my life now. I wouldn't change a darn thing. Colston is the funniest, sweetest little boy. He started crawling about two weeks ago and just the other night took a few steps with his walker! To say we are proud is an understatement.
Planning his first birthday party has been such a fun experience so far. We are doing a construction theme which is perfect because we are still in the middle of remodeling our house so our whole house is a construction zone!
It's hard to not get caught up in wanting it to be absolutely perfect. I know he wont remember it, but we will. There have been so many time where Justin and I thought we would never even see this day. So for it to finally be here, we want to celebrate it big.
In other big news, Colston is going to be a big brother!!
We have known since March but wanted to see if this baby had heart problems too before telling anyone. We still don't know yet because I am only seventeen weeks. We ended up having to tell people because well, I can't hide it anymore! Lol. Mama has a big belly!
We are due November 26 but I need to have a repeat c-section so it will be the week prior (if I make it that far and don't go into labor before hand).
It is extremely nerve wrecking not knowing whether or not this baby has any heart issues with everything we've gone through with Colston. We are just praying for a healthy baby even though our chances are high at 4%. (That's 4 out of 100 babies.)
We have also decided that even though we wanted a big family, we are going to stop at 2 and count our blessings. Trying one more time for a healthy baby is one thing, but I couldn't live with myself if we tried for 4 kids like we wanted and ended up having more heart problems. I feel like I am gambling with our child's life and that's not fair to them.
So if you all could send some well wishes and prayers our way for a healthy baby we would greatly appreciate it. We find out in about 2 weeks so I will keep you all updated.
