Mindy, we were almost the same story. I remember the first Christmas, when Flora was only 2 months old...how my arms ached during mass, wanting her home. All of the families who had little ones Flora's age would give me "babytime" each Sunday!
Fastforward....now I've got all of those 3 year olds in my pre-k religion class and they are all so precious to me!
I couldn't look at AJ's scrapbooks, where I had the noted all of the "firsts". When we were all home, I did copy his book and made all of the "firsts" with us!
It didn't help that Flora NEVER looked happy in any of the monthly dvds or pictures...she was ALWAYS crying.
