Class of 2008 - Let the celebrations begin again.

I wrote a post about one year ago to celebrate all our wonderful babies that were born in 2008.. I (with your help) got an awesome list of the cute graduates of the class of 2008. We celebrated our BFP together, all the excitement and worries of our first year as mothers, we celebrated their first birthdays , learned with each other about the challenges and excitements of toddler hood, and now our "babies" are tuning 2!!!! When did this happen? I am so glad that most of us are still in touch, that we can "see" them growing, learning, showing their funny personalities... we keep connecting, supporting each other, celebrating with each other. You and your babies are very special to Lyla and I. I love being a blogger , having blogger friends like you

The list bellow offers a great opportunity to go re visit some the birthday girls and boys that we lost touch and re connect

If you know any other "graduate" of the class of 2008 , please help me to complete the list

PS: We have 2 birthday boys today, go wish them a very happy second birthday... with their bdays we open up a season of many celebrations!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!


post written last year.


Yesterday I hang this on lyla's bedroom. She wore it when she was 3 months old, she is a big girl now... time flies, our babies are growing!

As Lyla's first birthday fast approaches I start to think about all of you that have been in this journey with us. I remember back in June/July/August/September 2007 when many of us starting getting BFP all at once. Serenity, Amy, Dellenn, Caro, Learn to breath-Amanda, And Baby Makes Three, BellyBug, Kicking You From The Inside, Neenie,Hopeful to Hateful in 28 days,Oscar wants a pl@ym@te. Life is good ... OMG, so many of us ( I am sure I am forgetting somebody, please help me to add on to the list). It was so exciting to be finally part of it, not to feel left behind. I remember the thrill of the first betas, then the heartbeat, the challenges and wonders of the pregnancies, the excitement of the births... Reading your blogs kept me calm, receiving your commends was so awesome, the encouragement, the support. YOU GUYS ROCK! . There was a second wave of BFP and they also made the class of 2008: fertilized, baby Moxie, Pig P and me, The onliner, Bea, Not like I thought it would be... (come on Help me) Then the babeis were here! I think Swim was the first of the class of 2008... Then Luke, Brooklyn, baby O, Mason, , Lyla, Willow, baby T, Claire, Giulia, Lily, kate, MT, katherine, Prata baby, D0n0van... (again I am forgetting names, please help me! and I am not sure with the order is right).
I also remember the heartbreaks, the ones that should be here. My heart aches for their mommy and Daddy. Sara's baby (I am glad she her precious girl now- the head of class of 2009), Sylvia, Claire, Lucy, Devin, Silas,Doodles...I am so sorry , I wish you were all here with us.

It was amazing to have you all to share the joys of motherhood during this first year, the challenges, the insecurity, the frustrations, the happiness, excitement, discoveries... Our babies grew up "together", we grew together! and forever we will share this bond. It's time to celebrate, happy birthday to you all!
