9 mos and counting!

September 23, 2009...... exactly 9 mos ago today I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. After the Dr examined Jayden and made sure he was ok they brought him to me and for the first time I put a face to the little man that had been kicking my ribs and making me unable to hold my bladder for long. It was the most amazing feeling to see his face, it was perfect. I swear he smiled. At that moment I knew that my life had just changed, I dont know if it was the morphine from my c-section or maybe new mom syndrome, but I didnt realize just how much. Being a new mom far away from my family was so intimidating at first, and still at times overwhelming but the one thing that gets me from moment to moment, and day to day is that face, that smile, this little angel that God has given me to care for.






This morning when I woke up I realized just how fast time goes by. My tiny little baby is now a big boy; crawling and babbling, laughing, and curious as can be. He has his own personality and just never ceases to amaze me. To some turning 9 mos old is just another milestone another day, but for us, for my family, it is such a treasure! Jayden has conquered another month another day. He is now 13 lbs 3 oz and 25 in long! His Liver Disease is stable for now and his doctors are impressed with how far he has come developmentally. I would like to take some credit for his accomplishments but the truth is I could not do what I do if it wasnt for him. He makes me want to be a better person, and I try so hard everyday to be a good mom to him because that is what he deserves. I hope that one day my son grows up and is proud of how far we have come as a family.






I can not believe I am planning his 1st birthday Party already its insane, its so bitter sweet that hes growing up and becoming so independent. He is trying to walk and as I type he is trying to take over my laptop. : ) Everyday I tell myself " There is no way he can be any cuter or sweeter" then the next day comes and again I am wrong for he is cuter, sweeter, smarter, and even more amazing each and every day!!!
