Lincoln is 4

My little boy is 4.

And I can't help but smile.

It's been 4 years since that sweet little boy was placed in my arms...covered in vernix.  He came 5 weeks early.

I remember not even seeing his face but screaming he was beautiful.  I didn't need to see his face.  I knew in my heart he was beautiful and perfect.

I still remember that moment on Wednesday, July 2, 2008 at 1:22 pm.  Time stopped.  The world was perfect.  And I became a momma.  I.Became.A.Momma.  My life changed.

I still remember the pain I felt when my little boy was taken away from me to go the NICU.  Those 9 days were the longest.  And I'll never forget the moment we were told we could take him home.  Those sweet, warm tears that rolled down my face knowing we could finally take our baby boy home.  It was one of the greatest days of my life.

I love him. He feels my heart with a love I'd never felt.  And I can't imagine life without him.  He is mine.  And I am so blessed.

There is something very special about the first born.  The feelings are all new.  Life changes and a new love begins to grow.  A love only a mother knows.

His kind sensitive soul is heart warming.  His smile is contagious.  He loves to cuddle.  And I love that about him. 

He'll always be my baby.  Always.  I love watching him grow.  And I love the little boy he's turned into.

Lincoln I love you.  And I am honored to be your mommy.  You've captured my heart and you make me feel whole.  Thank you for being you!
