As the bottle warms....


I've got 5 minutes or so to spare while my son's bottle heats up for his morning nap, so let me take this time to reflect. On what? Time can only tell....I hear him squealing upstairs, we are so lucky to have such a happy baby boy!

Let me reflect on the past year, being that my son's first birthday is coming up at the beginning of June. What a whirlwind year this past year has been, starting with the day my son decided to come into this world 10 weeks early and surprise us all. Surprise, shock, anxiety, despair, fear...all these words describe my emotional and mental state of being the first four months I became a mother. And with the unending love and support of great family friends, I was able to "build my confidence" as my mother said, and become the great mother I was bound to be.

Now I feel secure and confident to pursue and master this life called motherhood. And what an amazing and wonderful journey it is....

I'm off for now to grow and love my boy....
