Eight months later, I've realized that I haven't been keeping track of Hana's milestones the way I wanted to before I brought Hana into this world. "Cherish every moment" "Take lots of pictures" "Enjoy them while they're young". I get all kinds of advice from grand-moms, young-moms, soon-to-be moms, future-moms. So, I'm cherishing every moment, taking tons of pics (we're up in the thousands probably) and enjoying Hana to the last tear drop and poopie diaper. But, when do I have time to scrapbook and memorialize these wonderful, yet trying, times? All her pictures are in various places throughout the house, still in their Costco envelopes. I barely have time to eat, let alone blog about these days, which I only have time to do while she's sleeping or while I'm at work, when I should be doing reports (like right now).
It's only now that I've truly understood the value of time. Lately I've been waking up every morning, with Hana laying next to me, realizing she isn't the tiny baby she was when we brought her home in October. She's barely the baby she was last month, even last week. And now I'm planning her first birthday. I guess that means I've got approximately 3 months to catch up on scrapbooking 9 months of her life. Let's see if that ever happens. At least I've got thousands of pictures and a few blogs to start with. Now if I could only find the time to put it all on pretty paper...
