Happy Due Date, Knox!

Posted on | February 9, 2010 | 10 Comments

I have had this day circled on my calendar for months and months. Even though he wasn’t born on this day, it will always hold significance for me. It’s the date I have thought about, planned around and anticipated since being told at our first ultrasound. It’s still surreal to me that he is here and not in my belly. Sometimes, I think I feel him kicking (nope, just gas), and it takes a second for me to realize, wait, he’s right here in my arms. Even though I had always felt that Knox would come early, once that moment arrived, I couldn’t help but feel slightly terrified. But once I was in the hospital room, I was instantly okay. I was ready to give birth to him, to meet him. I think about the long months of anticipating his arrival, and how in just one second, he’s here. And I’m changed forever. My life is totally different from the way it was before. Sure, everything else is technically the same, there’s just one more person in the mix. That one person, though. Is everything. Such a tiny, little guy has made the biggest impact on me and changed my life in more ways than I can count. My priorities, my goals, my dreams, everything revolves around him and his little fuzzy head. My marriage is stronger and more loving, my life is more full and my home is a happier place. All because of him.
