It’s Noah’s 5th Birthday today and as I try to wrap my head around the whirlwind years that have lead to this new age, I’m totally baffled by how fast the time has gone. It wasn’t long ago that this precious boy entered my world and went straight to the NICU unit for the first 5 days of his life. His lungs needed extra time and care when he was born, so off he went out of the delivery room. I remember feeling so cheated of those first moments with him, it was hard. Then going to visit him downstairs in the NICU and seeing my darling baby hooked up to tubes, his gorgeous hair shaved in a patch so they could monitor his temperature.
When I finally held him it was magic, my heart was his and has been ever since.

Noah is such a precious child, he’s in love with his Mommy and tells me constantly that he loves me and that I’m beautiful. I am so lucky to have him, the tenderness he shares and the delight he brings to both Nathan and I is beyond measure. Nathan often says that he wishes we could freeze him in time, he’s truly a blessing and a sweetheart at this stage.

Noah, I love you little buddy, you are my true delight. Each day when I get to see you discover the world it makes me grateful for amazing little you. I’m so happy you came to our family, that you are my boy. I know that my heart would have ached for you if you had gone anywhere else in this world but my arms. Happy Happy Birthday Noah – Love and kisses, Mommy
