thinking back, not too long ago

When I look at my boy I sometimes cannot believe he is actually here.  That he is actually mine, and that everything turned out so so great.  I count myself one of the luckiest people in the world for this...

The road, although not too long, had some hiccups along the way.  Firstly, I was going to have a diabetes pregnancy - although I knew, that as long as I kept everything under control, this would not be a problem or a factor in the pregnancy at all.  I did not know how time consuming it would be though - how diabetes would become so much apart of my life.  That was not fun, but in the end it was all worth it.  I had no diabetes complications during my pregnancy.  I kept my blood sugar levels as tight as I could - I can honestly say that it was the best control I have ever managed over an extended period of time.  And if I had to do it again I would...

Pre-eclampsia was something I knew about, had read about, but it never crossed my mind that I would actually get it.  And just as easy as it could have cause me so much heart ache, it let me meet my man a few weeks early. And angels were watching as the events that led to that fateful OBGYN visit were all but coincidence I believe.  And he did great.

And as I look at him still, I cannot believe that actually he was conceived on 31 December 2008, in a little petri dish not too far from home while I was trying to celebrate the New Year with friends - But all that was on my mind were my little embryos, wondering how many of them there would be the next morning.  And for about three months my little man was frozen.  Isn't that amazing - I think it is..

Actually, all I really wanted to say is how happy and thankful I am, and how much I love that boy of mine.  And I hope that I will be able to give him the best life he could ever imagine.  I am just so happy that I got my happy ever after.  And I really hope that everyone can have theirs one day.
