One year ago today, my son was born. I wasn't there for this part of his life, I don't know how long labor was, where his birth mother was when it started, who was there, or really anything before his actual birth. I wsa going about my business, going to work, staring into the finished nursery, wondering when that call would come. Who knew that at 1:14PM, a beautiful 8lb, 15 oz baby boy would innocently come into the world, and would leave the hospital 3 days later, with a strange woman who eventually he would call mom. A woman who he doesn't look like, or whose genes he doesn't have, but would still love him more than life itself.
I honestly can't believe that it has been a year. Everyone always says that it goes by so fast...blah blah blah...well i can say now, that it is absolutley true. I have this child who is walking, who am i kidding, running around my house, yelling cat, car, cracker and all done. A child whose face lights up when i walk in the door at daycare, who is eating regular food, and will one day (soon I hope) be drinking milk out of sippy cup. A headstrong, determined, stubborn, kicked back little boy with a temper, whose laugh melts my heart. A child who has change my life in so many ways, and who I am as a person.
Happy Birthday to my sweet Jace...I love you!! Thanx for chosing me to be your mommy!
