MY BABY IS ONE!

Its official, I've been a mom for a year now. And its a HUGE milestone. Exactly a year ago I was in the labour room waiting for my life to change. After 9 hours of shivering under the blankets because of the epidural, he popped. The baby that has been kicking me every single day since 6 months is finally out and still kicking... Finally able to hear his first cry, definitely the most heart wrenching moment for papa and momma.

Motherhood is more than just having a cute baby that makes you go aww~ everyday. I traded in so many things for my little baby. Pretty clothes and shoes for milk powder. Beautiful tummy for a saggy tummy with stretch marks. Crazy nights for a slow and quiet night beside him. Shopping weekends for nothing but play all day. Every single thing is worth it even if papa have to call me a tiger because of my stretch marks.

So on the very special day, here is what Momma have to say to you..

Baby, you've been quite an easy baby since day one. Before you were born, you didn't give me any morning sickness, no nothing but just joy. Even when I was in labour, just 15 secs of push and you were out. Even the gynae said you are such an awesome baby. You eat anything and everything that I give you. You go to bed without having to be shake or carried anymore.

Every morning I wake up with you shaking the baby cot beside me trying to wake me up to play. You look at me like I'm your whole world and yes baby you are my everything.. You chuckle at every little thing even when i sing a silly song. You point at everything you know. I don't know if a 12 month old baby knows this but I'm surprised that you know how to raise your legs when you want to wear your shoes.

I love how you answer the phone with the headphone at the back of your head because the headset is too big for your ears. Love how you try to run even before you can walk. And how you're trying to walk step by step before hugging me real tight when you reach me.

This is gonna go on if I don't stop.

Jaydee, thanks for coming into this world to let me know how strong I can be. This may sound cliche but you son, is my everything.

Have a blast today and happy birthday young man!

Lots of love,
Mummyk
