@dramapotter: Last night, after you fell asleep, we decorated for your first birthday. We placed every detail so perfectly for you. Because you’re perfect. and I kept thinking… How did we get here already? A year ago today, they showed you off like Simba to me & mommy, and in that exact moment, the world we knew disappeared. I wasn’t just me anymore. I became your mama. And somehow, for the last 365 days, we’ve learned everything together. We learned how to breastfeed. Through cracked nips, sleepless nights, pumping before work, nursing in the dark, and all the moments when all you wanted was to be close to me. For one whole year, my body has been part of your story. It fed you. It comforted you. It helped you grow from a tiny newborn into the little boy who woke up today as a one year old. Everyone says, “Don’t blink.” I did blink. And now the baby I swore I had more time with is gone. In his place is this curious, funny, beautiful little boy who needs me a little less each day. I know that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be. But no one tells you that you’ll grieve the versions of your child you never got enough time with. The tiny newborn. The milk drunk baby asleep on your chest. The baby who needs you to do everything for them. One day you’ll nurse for the last time, and neither of us will know it’s the last. You’ll put it behind you without a second thought. But I’ll remember. I’ll remember every middle of the night feed. Every sleepy cuddle. Every ounce pumped. Every sacrifice that never felt like one because it was for you. Today is your first birthday. Everyone else will see balloons, presents, and cake. I’ll see every version of you that brought us here. Happy birthday to the boy who made me a mama, gave my body a purpose I never knew it could have, and filled my heart in ways I never knew were possible. If I could live this first year with you over and over again, even the hardest parts, I would. A thousand times. Happy first birthday, my sweet boy. I’ll love you for all my tomorrows. 🤍 I love you endless. To my wife, thank you for being the best partner & mommy. We wouldn’t be here today without all of your love, dedication, thougjtfullness and kindness. You show me daily what strength is and Jagger is one lucky boy to grow up with you as a role model. Cheers to 1 year of being parents. #motherhood #mamasoftiktok #oneyearoldbaby #firstbirthday #birthday @BOSS
