Feeling Nostalgic (pics and video)
I am feeling nostalgic and kinda sad. Aly is going to be 3 on Friday, and it's really getting to me. I'm so proud of her and all she's learned since getting her diagnosis last summer, and she's a real beauty, but at the same time, I miss the tiny stage. I even miss being hugely pregnant. Since I can't make Aly age backwards instead of forward, I really, really am wanting another baby. Too bad that won't happen any time soon.
Thought I'd share a few pics of those early days... the ones making me so sad for what went by too quickly.
My sister and me two days before I had Aly. My sister is pregnant again now.
In the hospital:
2 weeks:
3 months, with her cousins also born that spring/summer:
6 months, when she would eat anything (she hardly eats anything now):
7 months, Tasting snow:
Ahhh... there's just too many photos to show you my whole walk down memory lane. How about I just share the video I made for her first birthday? I think I'll show it to her on her birthday this year. I wonder if she'll recognize herself. I just watched it and cried my eyes out.
Thank you! I am seriously so sad now. I didn't realize how much that video was going to affect me. I hadn't watched it since before I got her diagnosis and it's taken on a whole other meaning to me. I think I know what I'll be talking about with my therapist tomorrow!
Quoting mallowcup17:aww great pictures!
good books for a boy with aspergers to help him understand puberty and his changing body
