so its 3:30am in sydney which makes it mother's day. I count when I first became a mum as the day I found out I was preggy - so that was back in April last year. This makes it just over a year since I've been a mum. This will be my first mother's day with Caleb in my arms rather than my tummy.
I'm excited about celebrating it more so than my birthday. I'm actually a mum! Not just a girl responsible for myself, but a mum responsible for a little boy. I feel like screaming it out...I'M A MUM! I can celebrate being a mum!!!
My highlights of my 1st year...off the top of my head at 3:30amish:
- my first ultrasound - seeing caleb growing, his heart beating.
- having him kick me
- holding caleb for the first time - after a very long labour and a caesarian operation where I couldn't keep my arms from shaking uncontrollably - partly due to the anaesthetic and also because I had the chills. I was so relieved to see he was fine that nothing else mattered.
- sleeping with him in the hospital because he woke up crying. He was so tiny in my arms and I felt such a bond with him.
- watching him - his facial expressions, hand movements, his tiny hands and feet growing, how cute he sleeps, the sounds he makes
- seeing him change - how much more personality he has now, his smiles and squeals, his teeth, being able to grab his foot and pull it to his mouth, how he kicks like crazy when he's all excited...
- kissing and hugging him, snuggling him
ok that's enough. i have loved my first year as a mum and it's only the beginning...
