So the minute I decide
to continue the healthy eating that my fast started, I’m consumed by fast food
cravings! For today I was able to resist and only eat the fast approved foods
that I’d been eating for the past 2 weeks. I keep reminding myself that I’ll
probably be pigging out on the weekend and then again next weekend when I hit
the Big Apple!
Today
marks the day that I was admitted to the hospital to have my labor induced. Even
then, he was stubborn and refused to emerge into the world on anyone’s schedule
but his own.This weekend, my
oldest turns 3 years old! He seems to already be wise beyond that age and he’s
quite the handful. We “argue” every day. What I mean by that is, he constantly
tests my set boundaries and tries to weasel his way around time-outs and
veggies. He challenges me beyond anything I could have predicted and wears me
down more times than I’d like to admit. My love for him has evolved from his
birth to now. I can’t imagine how our relationship will change as he does. I love
his spirit. He is fearless and inquisitive. He is observant and imaginative. I love
him to the moon and back times infinity.
I have never
prophesied in my life, but with this child of mine, I see specific things
happening in his future. In addition, I see our emotional battles and
personality clashes, but mostly I see our relationship as one to behold. There’s
a bond between a first born child and a mom that is indescribable, confusing
and wholly satisfying. I love what I’ve created and love the moments when he
shows he loves me back J
