Welcome baby Camden! You were born 2 years to the day that daddy and I were married. Now our wedding anniversary will be a celebration of the beginning of our family. The delivery was a little ruff but the outcome was perfect. He is like a little doll or "Patch Patch kid" my grandmother would say. So here I`am with my Cabbage Patch kid except I did not pick him from a row of lettuce and It would be considered irresponsible to leave him alone with my teddy bear as a sitter. So I have been adjusting to my new role as mommy. Its funny, people gave me advice when I was pregnant and I hated it. "You will get no sleep", "Your life will never be the same", "You will never go anywhere alone again." What a cliche these conversations were! I would just nod at them and think to myself, "I`ll sleep when he sleeps, I will continue my life as it was, and I will enjoy his company while I`m out and about." Ha! I quickly realized that they were right. However, no one ever told me that my insomnia would be from watching him sleep for hours because I couldn't look away. Or that life isn't the same because I finally found a job that I'm truly needed at and that yeah, I will never feel alone when he is with me. Having him is like falling in love. I get butterflies when he looks at me and when we are separated I count the hours until I see him again. There was nothing anyone could say that would prepare me for this new love. it was something that I have had to live and learn for myself.
