9 months ago.....

Nine months ago today, we thought we were going to have to wait another day to meet you.

Nine months ago today, the theme song from Angry Birds forever associated itself in my mind with the day you were born (great source of entertainment during those last hours though:)).

Nine months ago today, your mama and dada had a very trying and sleepless night, but the moment we saw you, we forgot all about it.

Nine months ago today, your grandparents (all four of them!!) showed up at the hospital thinking that they were just going to say hi to mama and dada, go home for the evening, then come back to meet you the next day (as they had already waited patiently for you for over a week). Little did they know that on their way to the hospital, you decided that you just couldn't wait to meet them.

Nine months ago today, we fell in love with our little boy 

(well.... 18 months ago, actually....).

Today, we continue to fall in love with you and the little person that you are becoming.

Happy first 9 months, sweet Benjamin... here's to many, many more.....

xoxo,

mama
