I've recently started planning his first birthday (invites to go out soon!). All my mind keeps returning to is a year ago, when I was a month away from my c-section and we were still a family of three. I was completely uncomfortable walking around like a huge, fat, wobbly penguin. I couldn't sleep, and was constantly exhausted chasing after Adri.
I spent hours dreaming of what Sammy would be and look like but never could have imagined him completely. I absolutely loved feeling his little feet kicking me from the inside and feeling him turn and hiccup. Seeing his little face and movements on the ultrasounds were also reassuring and a huge highlight during what seemed to be a quick pregnancy.
Unfortunately, I also spent a lot of time worried that his arrival would cause life to change too much for Adri and I was heartbroken that I would be in the hospital for 4 days, away from Adri for the first time. I honestly cried every single day worrying about these things.
Then Sammy came and changed our lives forever. I couldn't have hoped for a sweeter, funnier little boy! I can't imagine life without him now, without our little family of four. Adri and Sammy love each other so much, they've both exceeded my hopes in terms of how well they get along. I love watching them sharing, playing, kissing and hugging each other, and giggling together every day.
The two of them bring such happiness and joy to us!

"Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here for an hour I would have died for you
This is the miracle of life"
