After all is said and done
The pregnancy is over. There were moments when I thought it would never end, and now I feel a little empty…literally. I know I didn’t keep up with this like I wanted to. I’m sure I will have even less time now with a brand new baby to take care of. It’s surreal. I mean absolutely mind blowing every time I look at his face. I can’t even begin to describe it. Liam completes the circle between Nathan and I.
Birth was nothing like I expected. I delivered on Monday February 8th, 2010. I went in at midnight and started induced labor at around 2 am and finally gave birth to him at 6:50 pm. It is quite literally the most wild thing I have ever done. Not once did I scream, although I did cry. Not once did Nathan leave my side. Not once was there a severe complication, although they had a hard time keeping my blood pressure elevated. And not once did I imagine that the little person that came out of me would. Weighing 7.94 pounds, 21 inches long, red hair, blue eyes, he was…he is perfect.
I know this may seem incredibly sappy, but unless you’ve done it too, you will never understand true love. And after all, “love is the most important thing in the world.”
