I can't believe it, how fast time moves these days, that is. It seems like only yesterday that I was still pregnant, but it wasn't yesterday. It was one month ago today that I woke up feeling "just not right". There were no contractions or anything, something was just off. Call it mother's intuition or what ever you want, but some how I just knew that it was almost time to meet that new little being that had been growing and wiggling inside me for the past 38 weeks. It was a bittersweet moment for me, excited not to be sharing my body with someone else anymore, but at the same time sad that this will be the last time that I will ever feel that little person wiggling and kicking inside of me. I loved being pregnant, the miracle of birth, and how amazing the end result is when they place that tiny, perfect little miracle on your chest.
It was Sunday, 10-10-10, the day that I had picked out from the very beginning as the birthday for our new son. Never in a million years did I believe that he would actually decide to make his appearance on that day, but he did, and it was love at first sight. He was perfect, a perfect 10! I can't believe that Axel is 1 month old today, really, wear does the time go. I swear that with every baby the time just starts to move faster. No matter how hard I try to slow time down, I think it just moves that much faster in the wrong direction. So I have now come to realize that I must just enjoy every moment of everyday to it's fullest, the good and the bad.
So now our days are filled with the many feedings and diaper changes that a newborn demands, but I am enjoying every bottle and every dirty diaper knowing that we won't be doing this again. It is now time for us to just enjoy our children to the fullest. They are gifts from God and I love them with all of my heart.
