Well, what do I say! It just feels great to start blogging again… looks like it’s been over a year since I’d taken a break from it… frankly, many times the thought of starting to write again had hit my mind over the last few months. Last year this time, I was busy with a lot of personal stuff & had a lot of issues on my mind. This day, a year later, RJ & I have a cute little man, god has gifted us….I now can’t imagine our lives without our beautiful baby Matthew. It wasn’t an easy road, but it was all so worth it to get this boy. He has made our lives richer and fuller than I ever could have imagined… Amazing, at times when I actually sit with him & see him playing, cooing & of course displaying that million dollar smile of his, I can’t help but thank my lord! A perfect display of sheer innocence is what babies are all about, after all …
I have come across people who don’t consider conceiving & carrying a baby in your womb for 9 months, a great thing.. they feel ‘what’s the big deal’… that’s what anyway human reproduction is all about… but honestly, it’s not that easy as it seems to have a baby grow in you for such a long period… it’s a perfect working of the lord… & his grace & mercy that needs to be in control from day 1 of your pregnancy… Again, it’s from my experience and from the point of holding a perfectly healthy baby in my arms that I can now look back over it all and say: “I’m so glad I went through all that pain”. I'm so thankful that I was able to have such a beautiful delivery, and such a beautiful baby boy.
Every day, RJ and I find ourselves looking at our baby, and then at each other, and saying things like: “Our baby…”, “the lord’s promised child” or “there’s truly something special about him”…
For us, Matthew will always be “the baby.” And because he’s our 1st, I am holding on to every moment. And, I can hardly wait to know the man that he’s going to become. All glory & honor to my lord!!!
