Today I decided to start a blog so eventually I'll transfer all the stuff over from Braeden's Totsite to here. In the meantime, I figured I'd write a little bit----commemorate the significance of today. My baby boy is eight months old today. It's so amazing, and just like they say, they grow so fast. I don't know how I got from pregnant to a newborn to my gorgeous, curious little thing. I will never forget getting that positive pregnancy test. I was three days late and for whatever reason decided to pick up a test at CVS while waiting on a prescription. I took it in the bathroom there (again, for whatever reason), and literally started laughing when the positive sign (or lines. whatever the positive result was on that test) showed up. I immediately called Michael, laughing, in disbelief and shock! Here we are, that was January 12th, 2008. So much has happened since then. I wasn't sure I'd be a mother, much less a single one, but I wouldn't change it. Braeden and I are happy. We have our routines that work for us. He's the last thing I see at night and the first in the morning. We both instantly smile upon seeing each other. A mother's love truly is like no other. For lack of a better term, and at the risk of being redundant, the past eight months have been so amazing. I've watched my boy grow from a completely dependant, wrinkled, fussy little thing to a most beautiful, smiley, charming thing you'll ever meet. He loves to observe things, reach for them, kick them, put them in his mouth. Everything is a source of wonder for him as he tries to take in his surroundings. He has certainly made me have a greater appreciation for life as I view the world through his eyes. He is God's gift to me, and I am so thankful.
Attached are some professional photos taken in May for a cute baby contest. It closes out 6-20. Here's hoping he wins...and why wouldn't he?? ;)
