My first birthday as a MOM!
I have always enjoyed my birthdays in the past. I have always looked foward to them with the enthusiasm of a child. However, I always felt like there was something missing on that day.
Today I celebrated my 42nd birthday with family and dear friends and with my son, Cristian. As I am writing this, I am crying because I am so grteful to God for this blessing. This year, I felt "whole" on my special day. May you all have your babies home, soon!

I'm glad you had such a great birthday, and that the last piece of your puzzle was put into place before another year went by. Happy belated birthday!
