The One Who Made Me a Mom

I was never one of those little girls who dreamed of becoming a mom, I always knew I wanted children but when exactly, that was up in the air, there was no timeline.

I met the love of my life when I was 25 years old, we ended up getting married 5 years later, shortly after our wedding we became fur parents to a gorgeous Staffy/Cross names George. In January 2019 we made the decision to settle down and buy our first home in Port Coquitlam, we had been through so many milestones in 2 short years.

Fast forward to the middle of March, I was late on my period and had been feeling extremely nauseous for a few days. I remember going home from work early on a Wednesday, I had mentioned to my Regional Manager I wasn’t feeling well, then her exact words to me were “maybe you’re pregnant”. I paused and thought, maybe I was? But how? we had just started trying a month ago, could it happen this quickly?

That night I could not sleep, I was so anxious. My husband was at work on a night shift and I did not want to take the test alone, I called him and told him I was going to buy the test and wait till the morning. That morning I stuck to my regular routine, woke up early, went to the gym, came home, and got ready for work. I did not think I could get through a whole workday and actually be productive without knowing if I was pregnant or not. I woke up Daniel and told him I was going to take the test, 5 minutes later the test read POSITIVE !!! We were going to have a baby; we immediately called the doctor to make an appointment and figure out the next steps in growing our healthy bundle of joy.

Fast forward again to July 23rd 2019, the day of our intimate gender reveal party with family and closest friends. The house was decorated in pink and blue, as we anxiously waited on the arrival of all our guests, I couldn’t wait to know who you were going to be. POP, IT’S A BOY!!!!!!!, I was over the moon excited, a baby boy all to myself, boys LOVE their mamas and I couldn’t wait to meet you and spoil you with all the love, kisses and snuggles.

The moment I met you on November 27th 2019 at 2:04pm I couldn’t imagine my life any differently. I had an instant love for you that came out of nowhere, when I held you and you looked into my eyes its like you knew I was there to protect you. I now had the hardest and most important job in the entire world, and my new title was MOM.

Everyday is a new adventure with you and I would not trade these memories for anything. I love this bond we share, it is unbreakable, the love I have for you baby boy is something I can't explain. You have taught me so much, how to live in the moment, the art of patience and how to enjoy the simple things.

You are my first born, the one who made me a MOM <3
