Hello moms,

How is everyone doing? August 5th marked 3 years since I found out
that I was expecting baby Nathaniel. Time goes by so fast and yet it
seems like it was only yesterday. Today was the first day of school
for our neighborhood kids. I also remember the first day of school
back in 2005. I saw this little boy who was clearly a kindergartner.
He was full of energy running up the street in the direction of the
school. Behind him I assume was his older brother. His head was down
and you could tell that it was not his first year and he was not
looking forward to the new year. I laughed and patted my belly and
couldn't help but laugh. I started to day dream about my new baby and
his/her first day of school and years to come. The following year I
saw those two brothers again. This time both boys had their heads
down LOL. I wonder how that first year was for the little boy. I hope
he faired better then I had. I looked for him again this year but did
not see him. I have to admit passing the school I cried. Remembering
how happy I was and full of hope is bitter sweet.

So moms what bitter sweet memories do each of you have? For the
veterans now that you are a year or more out how do you feel about
those memories?
