My very first blog!

Today is July 12, 2008 & I am blogging for the first time- I know, I know I am sooooooo behind w/ everything. I have not blogged before b/c typically I am a pretty private individual. So this is more so I can reflect on all the different daily events that have been taking place recently. You see during the last year and half my life has taken on a different and deeper meaning--I became a mommy to the sweetest little man I think I have ever met!
For years my husband and I tried to get pregnant. I had thought that it would very easy for me to become pg b/c thankfully I had always been the picture of good health- no female issues at all, normal cycles.. all systems go! To make a extremely long, painful, hellish story short- several IVF cycles and tens of thousands dollars down the drain I still could not get or I should say STAY pregnant.
Fast forward to early fall 2006- we made the decision to talk to an adoption professional about the ins and outs of the adoption world. Within 3 weeks we were matched w/ our son's birth parents. January 4, 2007 the most amazing little boy was born- The most beautiful 8# 9oz I had ever laid eyes on. I could not believe that I was lucky enough to be his Mommy. Aside from my wedding day- this was THE BEST day of my life.
Now here we are 18 months later and my son, Coleston has taken my heart and stored it away forever. I thank God everyday for him- he has been a true blessing to our family. He is very healthy and smart as a whip! My love for him is so strong & I want him to always know that he is loved by so many people.
Especially me, his Mommy... he is my dream come true!
