As we get closer and closer to Ke’alohi’s first birthday, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed by it all. I’m overwhelmed with excitement for her birthday picnic this weekend and her big party next month. I’m overwhelmed with the stress that planning two birthday parties has. And lastly, I’m overwhelmed with sadness that my baby will no longer be a baby and will be a toddler. Lucas has always been great at balancing me out, being positive and seeing the good in situations. He loves the idea of Ke’alohi growing up and doing new things and while I am excited for those things, I still miss it when she was a newborn and could sleep in my arms for hours.
Now that it is less than 5 days until her birthday, I’m hoping that time will slow down so that I can treasure the last couple days of her “babyhood.”
