Today is the day. One year ago baby Luka was born.
Yesterday I started remembering everything that went on while I was in labor. Ronald and I started to remember details and times, and little scares we had. At midnight he came home from work and after coming out of the shadow we stared at our sleeping baby counting the minutes to his 1 year birthday.
I became so emotional, not only because this is such a great milestone, but because it has also been one year since I transitioned from being a woman to becoming a mom.
I became more self aware of my abilities, I did things that I never thought I would, I became a parent and my whole life changed as no other event could have changed it.
Responsibility was no longer optional, it was essential. I could no longer plan my day around my mood or sleep pattern, everything had to be done around the baby. It may seem like a bad thing, but I loved knowing that I had a little person in my life who required so much and I was the one who could give it to him. My love, my affection, my caring, I gave him all and I still do.
He is a bit temperamental but to me that screams character. There will be a time when I will have to teach him to be a big boy, but for now he is my baby and I am so proud of him.
I heard him babble his first word (teta), saw him crawl for the first time (backwards), and get his first scare when Ronald turned the blender on.
His first tooth was such a thrill, and his massive cold was such hard time for both. So many things we've shared together, so many memories made in just one year.
This has been the greatest year in my whole life and it is all because of him.
I love you Luka, mommy and daddy love you.
Happy Bday.
