I've just been remembering the wonderful events of my precious baby's birth. :)
Last year, at exactly this time, I was at the hospital, in active labor, awaiting the arrival of my precious son. There were just three and a half hours left for him to arrive. I had been at the hospital since 4:00pm.
Last year, at exactly this time, I was anxious, tired, and truly excited. At 2:47am, Dec. 26, 2009, Baby M arrived in this world. What a wonderful year it has been.
Going back through his first pictures and videos today, I shed many tears of joy, along with a bittersweet feeling of him growing up so fast. He is just 12 months, still just a baby, but I wonder... If this year has gone by so fast, will his childhood go by fast as well? I must cherish each and every moment.
Baby M is not yet walking on his own, but he is getting there. He stood alone without holding today, just briefly for the first time. He is a very sweet baby, and his smiles and laughter light up our world. Thank you God, for blessing us with the greatest gift on earth. :love:
Along with my baby's first year, I feel happy about one more thing. I made it through the difficulties of the beginning of breastfeeding, and at one year, we are still going strong. Breastfeeding was challenging for me, but I was committed to doing it for my child because of the benefits in it for him, and God helped me through. I'm thrilled that we have made it this far, and hope to gradually wean him by the time he turns 2. He really enjoys food now and eats most things, but we're not inclined to wean completely 'yet'.
Just wanted to share some of my memories from the best year of our lives. I can't believe I've been a mom for a whole year!!!
