On Friday, May 11th, 2007, I became a mom to a beautiful baby boy. I had some real trouble with post partum depression and I really didn't appreciate my baby boy. I had trouble feeling close to him and went through the first, almost year and a half of his life in a kind of haze. I was going through the motions, but not feeling much of anything. I really wish that I could go back to those early days and embrace this little baby boy and enjoy every second of his first year.
Now, six years later, Nicholas has turned into a curious and smart little boy, full of queries about how we can protect ants as they cross the sidewalk to why people should drive cars less to protect our plants from pollution. This little boy loves to read to me and write stories about Star Wars characters. The best thing, when he comes up to me, wraps his arms around me and says "I Love You, Mommy"
