Time flies

Time flies, way to fast for my liking. My big boy is turning 12 next week!! I still remember the day I found out I was pregnant with Bob the builder, the day my 'little girl' dream came true!!

 You see, when I was young, all I ever wanted was to be a mom and to have a family. While other kids dreamt of being doctors and teachers etc, all I dreamt about was one day having a family! I had a scrapbook with pictures of babies and started buying the Your Baby magazine from the first issue! So the day I did took the pregnancy test to find out if I was pregnant with Bob the builder, was definitely the day my dreams started to come true! I had the most amazing pregnancy, but the MOST amazing day was the day I gave birth to Bob the builder! 

The first time I looked at him, the second I held him in my arms, the moment I started to breastfeed him, every detail still fresh in my memory, was the moment in time when I realized, I was a mom, and this beautiful little miracle was MY child, my firstborn! The first time I felt like a piece of my heart was now beating in this beautiful, perfect gift that God gave me. This amazing gift that God blessed me with. The blessing he promised me in a dream when I was only 16 years old! This perfect baby boy, who I would do anything for, move mountains for, who I would defend with every fibre of my being! This perfect gift I was given by God, entrusted by God, to raise into a man.

My precious baby boy, who became the most talkative, vibrant little toddler.

My precious baby boy who became a little boy who loves life, loves being outside, loves sport, loves working on machines, who has always been so confident that he never once needed people's approval to know how wonderful and unique he is!

My baby boy who turned into a pre-teenager that would do anything and everything to protect his mother, that adores his father, that loves and cares for his brothers. The talented, gifted boy that can spend hours working on motors, taking them apart and fixing them. The boy who loves fishing, gardening and being outdoors. The baby boy who stole my heart the moment I laid eyes on him,who makes everyday memorable! The boy who I am so proud of......My son Bob the builder!!
