My pregnancy was one of the best experiences of my life and although I imagined loving my child with all of my heart, nothing could have prepared me for the unconditional love that I feel for my precious baby boy. Within a matter of days, I went from dreaming of, praying for and loving my baby in my belly to seeing my son for the first time and falling head over heals for him.
I have dreamed of becoming a mommy my entire life and have prayed for my baby boy since I was a little girl. I prayed for his health, his happiness and God's provision for him. Carl and I prayed that our son would be full of joy, and he is nothing short of joyful.
I am still in awe when I am reminded that my son is an example of God's love for me. When I look into Canaan's eyes and my heart is full of joy, I feel God's love. There is no greater love than that of the Lord and I am reminded of that daily, through my son. To know that God loves Canaan more than Carl and I do is unimaginable but completely true. I am thankful for His love and thankful for His kindness. A child is the most precious gift in the world and I am so thankful that I get to be Canaan's mommy and that he is ours.
Giving birth was the craziest experience of my life and even though it was the most challenging thing I have ever endured, I am so grateful for every single moment of it.

Our life has changed forever and we cannot imagine life without him.
I love these boys of mine so much that it hurts. I wish I could still time and live in this moment forever. I never want to forget these moments and I will cherish our time together as a new family, for the rest of my life.
