Happy birthday Phee!!!
September 24, 2007
It doesn't seem like 2 whole years have gone by since I sent Matthieu off to a business lunch almost 3 hours away, thinking that my contractions were another false alarm.
It doesn't seem like 2 years since the boys and I walked all through downtown following a military band parade and I realised that those contractions may be the real thing after all.
It doesn't seem like 2 years since I took my camera bag and labour bag to lunch with Kokomis just in case.
It doesn't seem like 2 years since we laughed and enjoyed a relaxing lunch while I timed my contractions with my cell phone.
It doesn't seem like 2 years since I went from 4 cm to 7cm in less than an hour.
It doesn't seem like 2 years since I held on those last 15mins until Matthieu arrived as those contractions started to get uncomfortable.
It doesn't seem like 2 years since I gave birth 5mins after Matthieu arrived.
BUT
It feels like a lifetime since I meet this sweet, lovable little guy.
It feels like a lifetime since I first looked into those sparkly blue eyes, full of joy and just a hint of mischief.
It feels like a lifetime that I've been surrounded by his happy, easy going nature. His affection and his smile are infectious.
I feel like I've known him my whole life. I feel like I've known him forever.
