God's greatest gift

I feel so amazingly blessed to have been able to have given birth to such a beautiful baby.

One year ago...

I was up to my ears in pain from a condition called Endometriosis. A condition where the tissue that lines your uterus grows outside of your onto other parts of your body, in my case, my ovaries and my abdomen wall. The tissue acts like your uterus does and swells and bleeds while menstruating, causing extreme pain ( I had an extreme case in which I was in pain all month long, not only when I was menstruating). Some women have endo and never know it because they are symptom free, only to discover it while trying to conceive. Endometriosis causes infertility, which brings me to my miracle. After 3 corrective surgeries in 2 years, my doctor had told me that I would most likely need to see an infertility specialist in order to concive. The beauty of getting pregnant ironically enough is that it subsides the growth of the endo for about 2 years. There is no cure for the condition and no one knows what causes it. My doctor had also given me to the age of 22 before my body would be unable to conceive all together (I have been to many specialists and recommended doctors around the state and they said the same thing)

Being 21 and in more pain than I could handle I turned to pregnancy in March of 2009. After only 2 months of trying, the Lord blessed me with the beginning of a tiny life. My doctor was extremely shocked!

Flash forward 1 year later...

I hold in my arms the most amazingly beautiful blessing I could possibly conceive. I was meant to be a Mother and this perfect person was meant to be in my life. He is so extremely beautiful and I sit in awe daily while I watch him grow and learn. I sit here and try to express how I feel about motherhood and I simply can't. How can I thank the Lord for something of this magnitude? There will never be enough thank yous. There will never be enough awe-filled moments. I can't even describe how spectacular life is with such a beautiful baby, only parents can relate, there is nothing like it. I can't ask more of a man than what I have in Sterling, he is such an amazing father. Such a wonderful person. My perfect fit. Kael loves his Daddy so much and is always so happy to see him.

Kael: once just a group of cells. One day one started to pulse while others followed, creating a beating unit, his heart. That heart pumped perfect blood and created a perfect tiny person. Being pregnant with him was blissful and I look back and get jealous of myself for having such a beautiful pregnancy and want to do it all over again, labor and all! Now almost 3 months old he creates a intoxicating presence. A sweet, beautiful demeanor that keeps you coming back for more and never leaving. He is amazing, Life is amazing, and women are amazing for creating and carrying God's greats gift.
