This Time Last Year...

As Owen's first birthday approaches...I've been thinking about what life was like just a year ago.  Steff and I talked a long time on Friday night about all of that.  My pregnancy, Owen's birth, life since then.  It was an amazing conversation.  And she asked me something I hadn't really thought about.  Does it feel like it's been a long time...or does it feel like it was just yesterday.  The funny thing is...when I think about it...I feel like it's both.  So very many things have changed and become different since then, I'd swear it should have been a few years ago.  Change doesn't happen that fast does it??  But then I look at our son...and he's almost a year old and I can't believe how fast that first year has gone.  It's almost over already.  It truly does feel like we were bringing him home yesterday.  And the baby I held in my arms at 2am...has changed into an adorable happy little boy.  How is it possible that I can feel like it's been forever yet gone so very fast? I'm not even sure I understand that part of my feelings.  But anyway...it made me want to go back and look at some old blogs from this time last year.  Here were a few highlights from the beginning of 2009 for the Linley's....before we became the Linley 3!

We took our first childbirth class.

I took an evaluation of pregnancy up to that point.

We got some amazing pictures taken!

We had my favorite night of childbirth class by far.

We took another childbirth class.

Mom went with me to my 30 week check-up.

We went and saw some eagles with Mom and Dad.

We got ready for our shower.

We had an amazing shower.

We lost Great-Grandma Linley.

We began nursery construction.

We had our 33 week appointment.

Finally completed our baby classes!!

I did a little recapping.  Loved Legally Blonde :)

Just a few weeks to the date...I was put on bed rest.

I appreciated Jer and Steff.

I began to feel pretty huge!

Then it wasn't long before it was March and I'm saving the rest of that recap for Owen's birthday :)  Boy things sure look different this February!  Thanks Steff for the inspiration for this post.  How time flies!
