Sweet, sweet love

Flashback: Carrying Cole

Cole,

I would love to tell you that pregnancy with you was pure joy. As I went through it though, it was not. There were the moments that I realized and was awed by the magic of it all....but for the most part I was uncomfortable, swollen, and sick.

If only I knew then how much I was going to love you....I would have been a much happier mama in all of that!

Truly though, I had no clue what I was in for. I was anxious about parenting, nervous about doing things correctly, concerned about money, etc. I wish I knew then what I know now...that things fall together. that is not to say that I don't worry about those things still! AND, more importantly - that you would make all worries float away.

So, swollen ankles, weight gain, months of heart burn, random and unexpected vomiting....I would do it every day of my life for you, little guy.

You are amazing!

Love,

your Mama
