Dear Carter,
You are now one! Where has the time gone? Everyday I am reminded that I can't keep you and your brothers little forever.
Giving birth to you, in many ways felt like a battle. I fought against myself and for myself. Against you and for you. and look back on it now, I realize that it was so physical, so emotional, so painful and pure because in those hours, days I was fighting for a healthy baby and a determined to make sure Mommy was here to be with you and your brothers.
This is our anniversary, Carter Michael. Your first year of life. Twelve months of giving us laughter and love and sleepless nights and proud milestones. My first full year as this better woman, a Mommy of 3 God-given gifts. I made mistakes but learned what you needed and when you needed it and how to rock you just right and what to say to get you to smile and a thousand other little things along the way.
Your Daddy, Jacob, Owen and I have loved every single second that has passed sinced your birth. We marvel in the joy that is you daily. Your are baby. Our sweet Carter-bean. The one who we never thought we would have!
Happy first birthday Carter!
Love,
Mommy
