My Little Man is 2!

Oh, how we prayed for you, and waited ever so impatiently for you.

You were loved before we ever met you. We had no idea
how madly in love we'd fall when you arrived.

You are a sweet, lovable, beautiful mess.


Everyday with you is an adventure and a blessing.


I am so thankful to be your mommy. I love you sweet boy.

Happy Birthday to you!

Side note: Every time I think of my son's birth I feel the need to pass along a tidbit of our journey to him to whomever might be listening. Quick version: We had some fertility issues while trying to conceive and through lots of bumps and prayer we arrived at an acupuncturist who specializes in women's fertility. I truly believe that her treatment is what allowed me to have my sweet baby. If you are on a similar journey looking for answers, I recommend reading The Infertility Cure by Randine Lewis to see if this might be helpful for you as well. Feel free to email me too. Struggling with fertility issues sucks.

Happy Birthday sweet baby boy!! May all your wishes come true.

Erin he is truly is a blessing (just as your daughter). I enjoy reading how you take each day with them not for granted.

As we both know fertility is a bumpy road. If I had a magic wand I would wish no one to have to take this journey or if they did all would have happy endings. Thanks for sharing my sweet friend.

Enjoy the birthday party today! Please safe some frosting for me! xoxo

Happy Birthday to your little boy. He is adorable (your whole family is)...

I have several friends that are struggling with fertility issues. It's not fun seeing such close friends going through such hard times. I've been praying for them... and will continue to do so.

Oh your sweet boy is 2! Amazing. Wishing him a wonderful birthday! Please post pics of his birthday get together.

Nice to hear that the acupuncturist worked!

I have to agree fertility issues truly suck! We are going on 11 months of trying and NOTHING!

Happy birthday to your little boy. And thank you for sharing your story:)

Happy, Happy Birthday to your little sweetheart. He's precious.

And thanks for sharing your story. I was on the verge of trying accupuncture this time around when my last cycle of clomid worked. It's somehow comforting to know that other people have shared the same struggles...although, I'd never wish it on anyone.

Blair said...

Awww! I am sorry to hear that there were fertility hurdles but a very happy birthday to your adorable little guy!

Happy birthday to that sweet boy of yours.

Thanks so much for the tip. My BIL and SIL have been trying to get pregnant for about 5 years now. It has only been in the last year that they "got serious" (her words) and she started seeing a nutritionist and etc. I think she saw an acupuncturist about 5 times, but that's it.

I'll def send her the name of the book. Thanks!
