I haven't posted in a while and I feel like I owe my J. a birthday shout out so I'll just share a little bit. Every January 10th I get more sentimental than any other day because it was the day I became a mom for the first time. I'll never forget the moment at 7:25 pm when with one final push he came into the world. I'll never forget pulling him up onto me and looking down into his sweet little face. He was so warm and slippery and perfect. My whole entire life changed at that moment, yet I wasn't really even aware of it. Ricardo and I often look at newborn pictures of our kids and comment how all their unique personalities are just stored up inside their tiny little bodies and yet if you look in their eyes you can see a glimmer of what they will become.
It's been a privilege, a challenge, a blessing, and so much more to be a mother these last seven years. I know I've only scratched the surface of what motherhood will entail for me. But I'm so very thankful that I've had the chance to love and be loved by such a sweet little boy and his brother and sister. It's truly one of God's greatest gifts.
