As a mom to a 10 month old, who will be 1 soon, I don’t want the day of his birth and the celebration to honor me or be about me at all.

I had a difficult pregnancy; I had cholestasis, carpal tunnel, and I had bad tendinitis. I went through 37 1/2 hours of induced labor and felt all of it the last 10 hours and had to have an emergency c section to save my precious boy. I nearly died from an infection I got as well… But I would do it again and again, the entire pregnancy, the labor, everything to have the same outcome I do now! I don’t expect any praise or honor because I chose him and I chose to carry him and birth him into this world. He doesn’t owe me anything, but I owe him everything and I will give him all of me and all of my love and ensure he is nourished always! 💙
