One year ago...

Charlie and Aldous
(Liam is now BIGGER than Aldous was in this picture - CRAZY!)

I honestly CANNOT believe this picture was 1 year ago.  Okay - honestly it feels like 5 years ago - SO MUCH has happened in these short 12 months.  That being said, how did my baby change from living inside my big belly - to the delightful, curious, and crazy 1-year old he is today?  I promise more tomorrow about Liam and his birthday...

I do realize I have a poor concept of how tired and huge I look when I'm pregnant.  Honestly - I think I felt "smoking hot" in this picture and I sort of felt like maybe people wouldn't notice I was pregnant.  My eyes look so swollen in every picture during the last week leading up to the birth.  The important part was I felt great, right?  I really do love being pregnant...

... but I REALLY love this part!
