You are now 4 months and 1 week old!
While I was breastfeeding you tonight I had a mini epiphany. I decided that I wanted to start a little diary/blog to record my every day experience with raising you. I should have thought of doing this while I was pregnant with you, but I guess it's never too late to start. First things first, I just want to say that you have totally changed my life. Now I cannot imagine my life without you. Before having you I was really comfortable with my life just the way it was. I was establishing my career, I had a lot of disposable income, and I felt freedom in being able to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I looked at people around me who had kids and they seemed to be living a hectic life. To me they seemed frazzled trying to juggle everything while trying to keep everything in balance. I just thought it was too much work for nothing. Don't get me wrong, I knew I wanted kids one day, but I was in no rush to start... Plus, I wanted to be 100% ready when I started a family because I knew it was going to be a life-changing experience. Your daddy and I decided when I turned 28 (and 2 years into our marriage) that we were going to try for a baby. We were so happy when we found out that we were going to have you.
You were a great baby even when you were inside my stomach. I never experienced bad nausea and I only craved healthy foods (no junk food!). I also got so many comments from people that I looked great pregnant. I didn't gain an obscene amount of weight and my skin was clear. I do remember that you were an active baby because you loved kicking mommy- especially the right side of my belly, just below my rib cage!
Even my labour was good. I went into labour at 9am in the morning, but it was only the early phase of labour so I didn't really feel that much pain. The real pain started around 4:30pm when I was in the active phase of labour. BTW, did I tell you that your daddy wasn't there for most of this time? That's another story!
Anyways, once I got the epidural everything was smooth sailing. You came into this world at 1:14am on Monday July 20, 2009 at a healthy 7lbs 3oz. Even to this day I cannot believe you were inside my stomach. Every day I look at you you are changing. I can't wait to discover what your personality will be like, who you will sound like, what your likes/dislikes will be, etc.
I just want to say that you are my precious boy and I love you so much. I can't wait to get to know you more.
