Love At First Sight

Normally I don’t believe in “love at first sight” but it happened to me eight years ago….

It all started a month after Gabe and I were married. When I found out I was pregnant I was alittle less than thrilled.

I had a very rough pregnancy with morning sickness 24/7 all 9 months.

The first time I felt him move, I was truly convinced there was an alien in my stomach about to burst out. (long story but 100% true)

I went into pre-term labor at 6 months. The doctor put me on medicine to stop the labor but I had contractions daily for the next 3 months. I was on bed rest a lot.

Finally I hit 36 weeks and they said they would no longer stop my labor, I thought the end was in sight. I then discovered I had dysfunctional labor. My body would start to have contractions; they would get stronger and closer together and then several hours later, they would stop.

I was frustrated; I just wanted to meet this booger who had caused me so much trouble. 11 days before my due date, I started having contractions… again.

24 hours and 45 minutes later, Anakin was born. I had him natural (no drugs). The epidural they gave me didn’t take affect so I was able to experience the whole thing, lucky me :)

Gabe knew he was in trouble the moment Anakin was born and I looked up at him and said “That wasn’t too bad…I could do that again”

I fell in love with my little man the moment I saw him. I never knew how deeply you could love someone you just met until that moment.

Anakin has brought me so much joy over the last 8 years. My heart melts every time he gives me a hug or kisses or curls up next to me on the couch or reaches over to hold my hand as we are walking down the street. Sometimes when I look at him, I still see the little baby they placed in my arms so many years ago.

I thank God He trusted me enough to give me such a precious gift

Happy Birthday My Little Man!!

Gabe...what more can I say?

Last year my husband won the Q Excellence Award in his company. this is an award given for outstanding achievements made by the employee. They gave out 10 of these awards last year. These are pictures of the ceremony.

The first one is of Gabe shaking hands with the President of the company.

The second one is of a some of the other award winners.

Now my husband has one goal...to never have a serious picture taken of himself. I am sure that after you look at these pictures you can see for yourself that he is achieving this goal so far :)

Stasia

had her baby root-canal and crown done yesterday. She did so well!! The medicine they put her on took the spazz right out of her. She discovered a fresh supply of her spazz after she had a very good nap. She only complained of it hurting aliitle bit once. When she saw it in the mirror she wasn't too sure she liked it so I told her it was a princess crown for her teeth. She has been fine with it ever since :)

Anakin

had his 4 bottom teeth pulled this morning. He did great!!
He liked the numb feeling, he told me that his chin was asleep. Then he made me feel it so I too could see how funny it felt :)
