Three Years Ago Today

Three years ago today I was sitting in a hospital bed waiting for what felt like an eternity for my turn in the OR. I was so terrified for what I was about to go through and the ONLY thing that got me through it was knowing that I was finally about to meet my little guy.

Looking back on that day now, I can say I was so clueless. Having a child is like being initiated into a special club. Unless you are in the club, you have absolutely no clue what it's all about. I had no idea that my life would forever be changed for the better.

Austen has taught me the meaning of life, he's taught me what real love is, and he's taught me to be a better person. I can honestly say the person that went into that hospital never came out, in her place came a calmer, more sefless, and fulfilled person. On that day my Son was born, the person I always wanted to be was born too.

Thank you Austen for letting me be your Mommy. I love you times a million!!!

Don't worry, there are a million birthday posts to come with tons of pictures.
