Reflecting

Well here we are...in MAY. Last year this time I was enormous. I mean HUGE. My belly felt like it weighed about as much as 2 bowling balls. Men's bowling balls. Oh wait, it DID weigh that much! I was just looking at my post from the beginning of last May and it brought back so many memories...the excitement and anticipation of meeting our little guy, all the wonderful baby showers...what an amazing time in our lives. And I have to say that it has just gotten better and better.

What a blessing this past year has been. So many changes, ups and of course downs too. I've grown and learned more about myself this year than any other year. I feel changed in so many ways from becoming a mother. I've learned what it means to put someone else first, always. I've challenged myself to become a better, healthier person because that's what my son deserves. I've made choices, some very difficult ones, because that is what is best for him.

Being a mother means everything to me. It is the thing I always knew I wanted to be when I wasn't sure about anything. I am so very grateful and feel so privileged to be Garrison's mom.
