A year ago today, after a surprise pregnancy, months of nausea, countless hospital stays, strict bed rest, 17 hours of labor, and an unexpected cesarian, the greatest thing that could have happened, did.
Robert McClain Mason
came into the world just as healthy as he could be.
And that sweet little bundle changed all of our lives. For the better.
We joyfully became a family of four.
My sweet baby boy was finally here. The battle to get him here safely, had been won.
His winning smile captivated us from the beginning.
His tender spirit so endearing.
He has adored his big sister every. single. day.
A moment doesn't go by that he does not win my heart.
McClain, no matter how old you are, you will always be my baby.
And I will always be your biggest fan.
Last night I broke my rule of never disturbing a sleeping baby.
I started thinking this was probably the last birthday eve that you would be small enough for me to scoop you up and snuggle you in the middle of the night.
So I did just that.
You stayed asleep, nestled against my body, and let me breathe the moment in.
You woke for a single second, looked at me and smiled before pressing your face against mine, only to drift off to sleep just as quickly as you awakened.
Sweet McClain, what a gift your first year has been.
I think we just might keep you. :)
Happy 1st Birthday.
Love, Mommy
Happy Birthday McClain!:)
