Well so much has happened in the past year. My 1st wedding anniversary is this Sunday, May 16.

And my precious baby boy will be a year old on June 26, just 2 days before my birthday. He was indeed the best birthday present I have ever received. There have been a whirlwind of occurrences that have happened over this past year. When my baby was born, I had postpartum hemorrhaging and had to be taken in for emergency surgery. Everything went well, but I didn't get to spend a lot of those precious moments with him before being whisked off to the operating room. He was perfectly healthy weighing in at 5 lbs, 10 oz and 19 inches long. Yeah, he's gonna be tall like his mommy :) He is the biggest blessing in my life. Jerry and I got so lucky to have such a perfect baby. Sure I've had moments where I needed my mommy at 2am to help me, and she knew just what do to. But those moments are very rare. He is a happy baby, always smiling and giggling for no reason at all. We can tell how much he loves us just by the way he acts when we walk into the room he is in, or his gigantic smile when we get him from his crib when he first wakes up. Such a good boy. I've rarely had a night which I didn't get much sleep. He will normally sleep 10+ hours a night and always wakes up in a good mood. My handsome lil' man. He has red hair like daddy, blue eyes like mommy & facial reactions like grandpa. BUT, he is definitely a Grandma's boy. He gets sooo upsets when she leaves. There is so much love in this family for this tiny little boy. My husband and I have had our little arguments over how to raise him (who doesn't) but we work it out in a civil manner. Sometimes I wonder what I would do if we didn't have the love and support from my family and great friends. Since my weight-loss surgery I have dropped a large amount of weight and it has affected my vitamins to which I am tired all of the time. I Know I am a good mom, and I'm grateful to those around us that pitch in when needed. Especially my husband. He's a great dad. THe kind of dad that gets on the floor and plays with him when I don't have the energy to. Even though all of the struggles we've had, we KNOW we have the perfect boy and treat him like no-one else could. He is the light of our lives.
