Six~6~Six!

Well, my boy has past the five-year-old mark and is six today. I can't believe it. Only six years ago, I wasn't a mother yet. I was large and swollen with child, sitting in a hospital bed, having contractions for the third day in a row, and scared out of my mind. It was probably around this time of day that I got my epidural. God bless anethesiologists! It wasn't until 8:18 p.m. that night six years ago that I got to see my baby. The one who made me a mother. He was huge, fat, slimy, and had a head full of thick, black hair. And I didn't even think to ask whether he was a boy or a girl. I was just happy he finally came. And bless the sweet thing, he slept that entire night. It was a good thing, too because I was out of it. Of course he hasn't been quite that easy since, but I've learned to not only live with it, but love it! My spunky kid brings me joy. And I couldn't have hand-picked a better one.

So today not only marks the birth of my baby boy but it marks the birth of my motherhood as well.
