Happy Birthday Dear Eric




























What a year it has been! I'm so excited that Eric is turning 1 today (and a little bit sad too). Plus, his day is extra-special because he shares his birthday with one of my favorite people ever: my sister Ellen.


So today I'm thinking about one year ago and how frustrated and sad I was when I couldn't be induced on the 21st since the hospital was so full. (Believe me, anyone who has been there understands, it was the ultimate devestation to hear that morning). And how great my two friends were to go with me to lunch (fish tacos from Fish City!) to console me. And I'm thinking about my insane power-walk the next day at CJ's work to put myself into labor and the relief when we got the the hospital and they admitted me and my contractions didn't stop (for once)! And I'm thinking about the moments after Eric was born and how all the nurses kept talking about what a beautiful baby he was and I agreed. And I'm thinking about all the sleepless nights since then and all the things we've done together as a family. And I'm so glad Eric came to ours.
Happy Birthday Ricky-Rick!

Can't believe that was one year ago. Crazy! He is so adorable. And now it is about lunch time and so Fish City is now sounding like the only thing I want to eat. When are you all coming to make a visit?
