1 Year 100 Posts, 100 Days to 1 Year

One year ago today I posted my first blog, "100 Days to Go." I remember opening up one of my pregnancy newsletters, I religiously checked every week for new baby developments, and seeing I had 100 days left. At the time I didn't know how right that was. Due dates are estimated by ultra sounds, or forty weeks gestation, but babies come when they want. One year ago our excitement couldn't be contained. One year ago Cade was kicking in my belly. One year ago I had 100 days till my baby boy was born. In that one year I have posted 100 blogs. One hundred blogs about something that started a couple of ounces to now be over twenty pounds. One hundred blogs about something not tangible to now being a 'waller' monster, crawling machine. One Year. One hundred blogs.

As said earlier we didn't realize how true 100 days was. That means since Cade decided to come on his due date- we have one hundred days till his one year birthday. One hundred days and he officially isn't a baby any more. He'll be one! He'll be a walking talking toddler, not a baby. His one year of huge developments will stop. Of course he'll continue to grow and learn new things... but right now he is learning EVERYTHING. We watched him learn to hold his head up, learn to roll over, learn to sit up, learn to eat food, learn to stand and crawl- and soon he'll be walking. Sure he'll still be learning, but not at the pace he's learned so far.

For now though I have 100 days to enjoy every first. We still have first Valentine's, St Patrick's and Easter. I'm positive his first step will be in there too. To be literal this is his first January 18th.
Over the last year and one hundred posts our family has truly been blessed. I had an easy pregnancy, and even toward the end with all the extra tests and appointments God still took care of us. Cade, his health, and personality are welcomed blessings. My posts regarding the overflow of love and gifts from our friends and family still remain true and we are still showered with all.
So this is my 100th post on my "blogaversary."
So starts the 100 day countdown to Cade's birthday.

Thanks for joining our journey.
We can't wait for post 200, who knows what excitement it will hold!
I hope this blog is as much a joy to you as it is to us.
