Life takes on an entirely new meaning when you're pregnant. You gain 20+ plus pounds in 9 months, growth. Your hair and nails flourish, growth. Your responsibiities include nourishing and protecting a new ife in your belly, growth. And most important, you start with a poopyseed in your stomach that eventually grows, into a pumpkin, or a baby! Now that's the ultimate growth right there.
Life is about to take on a new meaning and most everything that's really important will be centered on growth. "Look at him grow", in the life a child every month is a milestone, every year is a special birthday, until it's not and you're ready to count backwards.
When birthdays aren't as important and you're racing for the next weekend, it's easy to forget about growth. This child has already reminded me to slow down, enjoy the moment, and figure out how to take advantage of even the days you can't wait to end.
Because next year at this time I'll be saying I can't believe my baby is about about to turn one. Now that's growth!
