One year ago today......
I was sitting in the recovery room waking up, when my midwife walked in and whispered that my baby was here. She told me that there were some complications, and that he had some abnormalities. I blinked a few times, not computing what she had just told me. I honestly didn't care, I just wanted to hold him. The placed him in my arms, and my heart melted. I knew he was perfect.
A few moments later, his daddy walked in and got to hold him for the first time. We just sat there and stared at him. Because of the shock, and the total unpreparedness we had for the situation, we didn't really know what to say to each other at first.
Then Tim looked up at me, his eyes filled with tears and he said, "What are we going to do?"
I just looked at him and said, "We're going to love him."
It is hard to believe that was a year ago.
Elijah Cole
has brought me more love than I have ever known in my life.
He has given me more laughter and joy than I could have ever imagined.
Watching him grow this year has been the highlight of my days, and I cannot wait to watch him grow into the man God has created him to be.
Happy Birthday my sweet boy!

Happiest of birthdays Elijah! I remember so many moments from your momma's pregnancy, labor and delivery, but most of all I remember how much love everyone had to share with you! I can't believe it's been a year- may you have many, many more happy birthdays to come!
