I am currently a SAHM with 3 year old Aidan. Brandon works for a software company as a business development manager. Brandon and I have been married for 7 years.
Our beautiful boy Aidan was born 12 weeks early due to an undiagnosed clotting disorder that I carry. He was born at 1lb 8oz and was 12 inches long. He spent 15 weeks in the NICU. Despite Aidan’s early start, it is hard to tell by observing him. He is currently an active, curious toddler getting into everything and learning constantly.
This blog is to update on our lives, talk about Aidan, and any other random thoughts that may have the need to see the light of the written word. If you have found this site because it came up in a google search and you are looking for information about prematurity and the like, welcome. Any questions about Aidan, his prematurity, my pregnancy, etc are welcomed and I will try to answer them as best I possibly can. You can email me at lori@beautifulinmyeyes.net
Why the blogname “Beautiful In My Eyes”? It was the song we danced to at our wedding. We have always loved it, and since the arrival of Aidan it has come to mean so much more. My husband, my son, my life is beautiful in my eyes. Read the lyrics and you will understand.
Beautiful In My Eyes by Joshua Kadison
You’re my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You’re everything I’ve tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You’re my Mona Lisa, you’re my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We’ll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer is that you realize
you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won’t say goodbye ’cause true love never dies.
You’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.
