We moved the crib mattress down. I was preparing myself to feel emotional about this. I was ready to cry. I was ready to feel like I was losing my baby. I didn't feel that though. I felt happy.
It's a sign she's growing and achieving milestones. She can pull herself up! She can stand! She can do so many things. Years ago I started to lose faith that I'd get the chance to see my baby grow. I thought we just weren't going to be parents no matter how badly we wanted and prayed for it.
When she finally came, I kept being told she was too small. She wasn't growing fast enough. She wasn't eating enough. She was a health concern and a failure to thrive baby. Except now she's on the chart (barely) and she's cruising past each milestone that is set for her age. She's thriving and lowering that mattress is proof.
So when it's your turn to lower that mattress, it's ok to not be sad. It's ok to be sad. It's ok to look forward to the future. It's ok to mourn the past. It's ok to feel however you feel.
