after 15 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing, and an emergency c-section, my first born graced this earth and changed my life FOR GOOD. how time just FLEW! i started the day like i always do on my babies birthdays...cuddled him in my arms & reminisced about the day he was born, with every last detail. i love how he stared at me in awe.

this year was especially moving for me, since 5 years old is a critical age. before he woke up, in the early morning light, i stared at his sweet little face, remembering all we've been through together and -- i started bawling! we spent his big day in his favorite place, disneyland. 
he has always had such a sweet face 
i can't believe there was a time in my life when i actually did not want children. i firmly believe i'm one of those women who would have been just fine had i chosen not to have any. but when i look at pictures like these, i thank all that is right & good for the blessings of my sweet, sweet gavin :)
