was october 18, 2009. that's the day that my gorgeous son was born. he came into the world, and to be honest with you, i wasn't sure how i would feel about being a mommy. but what they say about falling in love with your child instantly? its true. or at least it was for me. it wasn't like a bolt of lighting or anything cheesy like that. it was just...there. effortless. i saw his sweet little face and i kissed his nose and i was in love.
he looked at me like he knew exactly who i was; and the first night as his mommy, was exhausting, but magical. i wasn't sure if i would know how to do anything baby boy related. and as it turns out, i didn't. but i had plenty of nurses there to help me out. and of course, my wonderful mom and dad!
6 months have passed, and each day i look at my son and i'm overwhelmed with that same feeling of love that i had the very first day i laid eyes on him. every day he does something precious and new and every day i'm so proud to be his mother.
I remember the feeling I had the first time I met my babies. it seems unreal that they are a instant part of your world and that you can't imagine your life without them. Now my little ones are not so little(my oldest is 15 and over 6 ft). I'm just thankful I can enjoy ever minute of their lives so far, because I know that eventually they go away and become adults and then you wont have them in your life as much.
