One Year

It happened....today, at 3:55 pm exactly one year ago, our Baby Bleu took his first breath.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  It, along with the births of my other two children, will always stand out as some of the most glorious moments in my life.  A real live supernatural experience because there is nothing in the world like watching life literally happen.  A life that my husband, who I LOVE, and I made together... in all of our imperfections came perfection.  A real, tangible piece of heaven.  And in that moment, all the stress of life and the year (ESPECIALLY that year) didn't exist.  Because he was here.  And I could touch him and smell him and kiss him.  He didn't look a THING like what I thought he'd look like.  But that was okay.  He was still so perfect.  And today, he still is.  Here a a few of my favorite moments from that day.

Just born

 Remember he was tongue tied?

 

 Seeing him for the first time

 

 He was so perfect...and I felt like a rock star.  A shaky one..because that epidural or adrenaline wearing off or a combination of it all gives me the shakes right before, during and after delivery that I can't...haha, shake.

But shout out to all the folks saying how awesome and amazing I looked.  And to YOU, friends, I say, "I agree."  ;)  jk

 Jaggar, realizing that I didn't have a doggy in my belly after all.  And sweet Sage on top of the world.  She's ready for another baby, specifically a GIRL.

 LOOK at him.

 He had a cone head...for weeks.  I remember when I was pregnant with Sage...I want to say this is a foggy dream that I didn't actually do, but I'm pretty sure I did...pray that her head would be perfectly round.  God bless her for having to grow up WITH me.

Here we are again.

 One of my favorites.  This is EXACTLY how I felt, too.

 Travis took this, and I love it, too.  Perfect moment.
 

 Such a sweet Christmas gift he was.
