Happy 1st Birthday to my sweetest little boy!
My life is nothing without my sweet children and I love them so very much.
I cannot hardly believe that 1 entire year has passed since I birthed my red headed Peter Ryan.
I was lying in bed the other night re-living the night/earlymorning that I went into labor. It is so very clear to me. I wish that I could go back and do it all over again. really. Some say it is hard. painful. excruciating. But I have a much different view on childbirth. I love it. I really do. I do not however love being pregnant. And maybe that is why I love the act of childbirth because it is a means to the end of having my body be taken over.
I really do love giving birth and I will do it again someday. It is exhilirating. The sense of accomplishment is indescribable. For those few moments in time nothing matters except you and your baby. And then... oh the sweetness of a brand new baby-your very own- you get to feel and kiss. And how there is nothing like it in the whole wide world. I love it love it love it.
Happy Birthday sweet boy. We love you so much. You are the sunshine in my soul and a light unto the world.

Happy Birthday Peter. I can't believe how much they change in a year. I'm starting to see why you'd want to relive that day.
