My precious as gold memory
As I shared in class yesterday, my precious as gold memory is that of my son. He is the absolute best part of my life and the best thing I have ever done. I love my husband as well of course, but my baby, who isn't a baby anymore, has that special love connection with me. I was pregnant with him at 19 and had him at 20. I could not have been more scared than I was when I found out I was pregnant. I was sure my parents were going to disown me and my dad was going to kill my boyfriend, who of course is now my husband. Everything is fine now, and no one died thank God but there was a time when I thought it was gonna get bad.
Devon Lee was born on September 4, 2002 at 10:18 am after giving me a whole bunch of horrible pain for 17 hours and 45 minutes. He was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen, a full head of black hair, ten perfect toes and ten perfect fingers, but this was my baby and now I was a mom. What the heck was I going to do now? My husband was just as scared as I was but he was a huge help because I developed a mild case of post-partum. It didn't take long until I had the hang of things and he and I spent everyday together until I went back to school. Devon was 3 and a 1/2. The years have flown by way to fast and I miss the days when I would go get him out of his crib in the mornings, and just lay him on my chest and play with him all day.
He seems to surprise me everyday and makes me smile even more than I could ever imagine! Even though he is getting older and may not want as many hugs and kisses, i hope he always knows how much he is loved, and how deep my love for him really is. There really is nothing better in this world than being a mommy! It is the best job ever!
