Three years ago, thanks to Pinterest, I started reading blogs. Not long after, I wanted to blog too...it was pretty much my current #flavorofthmonth. Like most flavors, I sampled it but never bought. Not enough time, planning a wedding, didn't want to put forth effort and for the love, most importantly, what would I name it??? Not to mention, who would read i, and what would I blog about? Fast forward to present time. Not much of those things have changed, except I do have {some} time and I have something to talk about.
Everywhere I go with Palmer I hear the phrase "Don't Blink." When we were living in Columbia, I HATED that I was going to miss out on so much. Whether I blinked or not, I was going to miss something. When we found out we were moving back home and I was going to get to stay home, I was so excited because "I wasn't going to miss a thing." I won't blink I told myself, I'll get to see all of the big milestones, I'll cherish every moment, and I'll remember everything. It won't go by as fast as they say, because I'll be there. Wrong. 1000x over was I wrong. Somewhere between 5 & 6 months I blinked and my baby was different. Over night he had hair, was babbling more, had new sounds, was reaching for toys, picking things up, eating like a champ and just developing left and right. Every day was something new. And it literally happened when I wasn't watching, or expecting, it, even though I was right there. No lie, 90% of the things I checked "Not yet" on at his 6 month well check he started doing minutes, hours, or days later. \My preemie is no longer a preemie.....he is growing like a weed and doing it at a pace of rapid. In the wake of all of this developing, and after three years of vaguely thinking about it, this blog was born. A way to document and remember the small things, celebrate the big, and share them with whoever wishes to read. Because lets face it, whether you blink or not, life flies by and I really don't want to miss a thing (insert Areosmith)
Enjoy friends!
