My silly boy on his first day back to school last week. He is such a light in my life. Always smiling and laughing and just overall happy. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Lately I’ve been so proud of him. Mostly because he is finally potty trained. Last Sunday we put the underwear on and didn’t turn back. Within a few days it was official. There were many attempts before this so you can imagine how excited and relieved I am. If you have kids you know how much of a big deal this is. Also, Friday was his first full day of school and he did great. Like I said, I am just so proud of him. Being a mom is a crazy job but I am pretty damn lucky to have this sweet, kind, and amazing little boy to keep me on my toes.

Seeing Elliot for the first time was such a joy, despite feeling like shit and wanting to throw up, lol. Those chubby cheeks, soft lips, fair skin, dark eyes, and button nose…my boy was here and he was beautiful. And as I countdown to his 1st birthday, I am filled with so much gratitude. The love I have for him is beyond words. Everything I went through was so worth it to have him by my side.

Reflecting Back: My Birth Experience

I can’t complain too much about my pregnancy, but my birth experience was pretty bad. I’m not gonna lie. Everything I didn’t want to happen, happened. That dream birth I was looking forward to certainly wasn’t meant for me. I felt so many emotions during my stay in the hospital: anxious, weak, powerless, sad, hopeless….the list goes on.
And then I was told I had to get a c-section. I just laid there and cried. All I wanted was was to meet my baby.
The surgery was horrible. But when I heard my sons voice for the first time, I smiled. And then I got to see his adorable face, and he smiled. And even though waves of nausea consumed me, I knew that soon, it would all be over.
And here I am today, almost 11 months later. Where does the time go? I feel like I’m going to blink and we will be celebrating his 1st birthday. Just another month and our sweet boy will enter a whole new journey. And us as well as parents. It’s all so exciting and a bit overwhelming. But the adventure awaits us.
