30 Day Challenge: Day 3: My First Love

I am way behind in blogging so I thought the best way to get back into it would be to continue working on my 30 day (more like 100 day) challenge.

Day 3 is First Love

Most of you doing this will list your husband as your first love. Well as most of you know, my husband Rich is the most amazing man I have ever met and I love him more than anyone. But he wasn't my first love :-) My first love is my son, Gavin.

Rich and I met in April of 2007 but my one and only son and first true love was born March 3, 2004. As young as I was, I remember wanting nothing more than to be a mother. I remember the day I started to feel 'iffy' and decided to take a pregnancy test. I was the happiest I had ever been when I saw the positive results! I called my mom and dad immediately lol. I absolutely LOVED being pregnant (despite the awful all day sickness I tend to get) and still do. He was loved more than any other before I even knew who he was.

I had always wanted a son first and I got my wish. The day he was born was the first day of the rest of my life. He was a GORGEOUS baby and all the nurses told me so. He had beautiful skin and the perfect amount of dark hair. I couldn't wait to take him home :-)

Gavin is such a sweet boy. He is a wonderful big brother and he takes that job very seriously. I am very lucky to have such a good kid. He knows that I love him, but one day I hope he understands what having him as my son means to me.
