Happy Birthday, Calder, my love!

One year ago exactly, as I write this post, I was in labour with Calder. Labour was already about 13 hours and I was getting tired and worried, as things weren't progressing well. Soon after this time, my Doctor made the call that a Cesarean section would be the only route available to me now, and of course, I took it. Anything to see my baby, the little baby that had for so long kicked and punched me inside and hiccoughed very day.


At 11:59 am, Calder was born into this world. It was the happiest moment of my life when I was told "it's a boy!!!" I could cry now about that moment, but I am at work, so I think I'll leave it for now. :)

My wish for Calder today, just like on his Birth day, is that I hope he will be happy. That's it - I know it's pretty simple - but I want him to be happy in the choices that he makes in his life, with career, life and love. He is already such a happy boy - and I hope he stays that way. I love you so much, Calder. Words cannot express how much I love this little man that came into our lives one year ago. Gary and I were blessed a million times over.

Happy Birthday, my little munchkin!
