In times like this I wish I was a good writer, so I could fully explain the feelings I have on seeing my little baby boy for the very first time a year ago. I will never forget locking eyes with Hunter minutes after he was born. It's not just 9 months of waiting to look into your little baby's eyes for the first time. It's the deciding to have a baby, when to bring that new little spirit into your family, the many months of convicing my husband yes, lets have a baby again, the waiting game from month to month of when that little pink line will make an appearance. The day when finally it shows up and your life will never be the same. Announcing to the world, a new spirit is coming to come to earth. The first time you go to the dr and hear thump thump....thump thump. The first flutter you feel in your stomach, was that the baby? When you feel the cold gel on your tummy and see everything is developing just fine and a little wave of relief. The announcement of it's a BOY! The growing and growing bigger and bigger, the constant kicking. The sleepless nights and he's not even here yet. The swollen feet and constant trips to the bathroom. The weekly apts and the dr saying any day now. The anctipation....when will I get to see my baby? When will I know to go the hospital, will my husband be in town, who will watch Haylee? Is my house clean, do I have everything I need for the baby? Who will drive my to the hospital if Weston is out of town? Will labor go smoothly, how big will he be? what will he look like?? Then the moment...... He's ready to come meet me!!!!




The moment of when I look into my baby's eyes for the first time and we truly get to meet each other is one of the best times in my life. Nothing can replace this moment for me. I cherish the wonderful gift I have of being able to bring children into the world. There is no way in words to describe how grateful we are to have Hunter in our family. He is such a happy little spirit and brings so much of that happiness into our family!! Oh we love him so much. Happy Happy first birthday Hunter. I love you more than you will ever know!!!

Oh, such a sweet post! Your kids are so lucky to have such a great mom! And you are a beautiful writer! I got teary-eyed reading this thinking about all those moments with my own kids, especially Capri since I just brought her home 2 weeks ago.
Anyway, happy birthday Hunter!! Thanks for inviting us to the party! :)
