Maximus turned 5 months yesterday - May 21, 2013. Time has def flew by. I still remember as if it was yesterday I was checking in for my C-Section. I still get butterflies when I think of the first moment I held him. The first moment I got to experience breastfeeding. The first moment I looked at Alex and he became a dad. And here we are 5 months later.....He's smiling, playing with his feet, cooing All. Day. Long., attempting to roll over, sleeping thru the night, breastfeeding and NOW eating pureed foods! When I look at him now I see a strong boy! I see a future runner and swimmer - HE LOVES being in water. I see God in him. I see he is being raised by a great father who loves him unconditionally.
He's my Pride and Joy!!!
PROUD to say I am officially back into my pre-baby weight/size! Took 5 months of hard work, sweat, tears, growth and achievements to get where I am today. My journey doesn't stop there - it just keeps going. I'm very THANKFUL for all the support from Alex, friends and family. Most importantly I am THANKFUL for Maximus and the reason is because without his daily smiles, his 2am feeding sessions, his patience during my runs and sleepless nights I would not be as strong as I am today! He has changed my world in ways I didn't think were possible.
Everything I do, say, think is a reflection of my motherhood. Max is a reflection of me. I'm motivated everyday to be the best example to him. Maybe not now he doesn't understand but knowing the values Alex and I are instilling in him is going to pay off. We want him to grow up loving the Lord, having respect for us, values and the true meaning of life.
So, when I say I am PROUD of being back into my pre-baby weight it's because I truly am. Proud to be able to balance motherhood and still make time everyday to exercise. Proud that I get up everyday with a cheerful heart to be a mom. Proud to know that my son will read this one day and say "Good Job Mommy!". Proud to say that everything I am doing is for the Lord. His strength, His wisdom and His grace.
Happy 5 Months My Sweet Boy - Mommy Loves You!
