reminiscing...

I remember February 28, 2012, like it was yesterday. I remember the whole day, all the feelings, every emotion. Im quick to recall how that last push felt & the joy that overcame my whole body as my son was placed on my chest. It was as if the world stopped and everything was perfect. His cries were music to my ears and when he grasped my necklace and cuddled into my chest, I was immediately at peace. It was surreal, & even though I can remember every feeling & every second of the day... I still am in disbelief that the whole day occurred. Some days, I stare at Connor in amazement that he not only grew in me for 9 months, but that I pushed him out of my body & now get to spend every day watching him grow. 

What a miracle!! 

Moments where you feel so at peace and so much love are rare, occur only a few times in ones lifetime and are a true gift.

I thank God everyday for giving me that day, that day I became a mother; a role that many people are quick to take for granted, however not me. 

As Connor is now 10 months old, I am quickly realizing how fast he is growing. Although I couldn't ask for anything more than the healthy baby he is, I cannot believe he is almost a year old. 

Although February 28, 2012, is almost a whole year ago, I will never forget it. Future babies birth will be just as amazing, Im sure, but the first baby... Those first emotions, first feelings of anxiety, first experience of labor pains, first delivery, first time feeling a newborn on your chest... 

I pray God has in store for me to experience all that again... & again & just maybe again :) 

One day...
