...I was getting prepped for an IV so that the nurse could start me on pitocin to get my labor started. Many hours later I would finally get to hold my precious baby boy in my arms for the first time.
This morning when I woke up I began reading through all the baby blog posts that I wrote during my pregnancy. How quickly I have forgotten all the drama of those nine months. The back pains that I had (only when I sat, not stood), the weird oblong stomach bump that Callan created by sleeping with his butt in the air (which I can understand so clearly now seeing that he still sleeps that way in his crib), the memory lapses (oh, there were so many of them...and still are!), the aches and pains and rib poking, the funny stories from our birthing class, and the list goes on...
One of my blog posts said, "I hope this baby is as good outside the womb as he/she is inside!" I'm blessed to say that Callan is a good baby. He's taught me much about contentment and joy these past 12 months. He's always wearing a smile, which seems to scream, "Relax, Mom! Life is good!"
Speaking of Callan, my little birthday boy is awake now. I'll post pictures from his birthday party when I get a chance later today...
