My Game-Changer.

Last year on February 23 I woke up and decided I was completely done being pregnant. I had enough of throwing up all day, every day, and feeling miserable and yucky all the time. I called into my work and talked my manager, Yvone, I told her I couldn't come in that day because I was going to have my baby. I could hear all of the other people at the office asking questions, if I was in the hospital and how far I was. I sounded rediculous to them when I informed them I wasn't yet, but I would be. After that I took a really good bubble bath, drank a half of a bottle of caster oil, and went for a very cold February jog. At four pm I drove myself over to the hospital to have my baby(Determination is a strong trait I carry). After 24 looooooong, horrible hours my little Boston graced the world with her presence and the rest is history. Before you judge that I took somewhat extremes measures just remember I am probably not the first woman to do this nor will I be the last.... Pregnancy was NOT good to me. On average their are 10,600 babies born a day and on February 24, 2012 mine was one of them.

Before Boston if I were to compare my life to a game it was one I wasn't taking seriously. I tended to be cruel at times, wreckless and not certain of any direction. Empathy was also another characteristic I didnt really have. Boston was my game changer. I have tended to always have a "me first" attitude, what can I do for me? What can I do so I am happy, content, taken care of ect. I have always loved myself more than I loved anyone. Boston coming into my life has completely changed that. She makes me want to be better so she can be proud. I would go without McDonalds coke for a few weeks if it means saving money to give her the best birthday I can afford. I never imagined a tiny browned eyed baby girl could bring me so much happiness.

This last year of mine and the first year of Boston's has had some of the worst moments I could have imagined, I have felt tired, physically in pain, and emotionally spent. But for every one of those times I have been giving ten happy moments. Garth Brooks knew what he was saying when he sang, "Some of Gods greatest gifts are un-answered prayers." Every night when I pray I thank God for the curve ball I got, my little game changer. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this last year special for her.

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be....Happy first birthday, my Sweet little Boston.
