summer lovin, had me a blast!

wow...what a summer we had. there were adjustments to be made in our life but cameron and i both made a commitment that we would not let having children stop us from enjoying life, and living it to the fullest. we have done our best to stay commited to that promise.

the one thing we did not get to do this summer was camp. not because we didnt want to take kingston camping, but we really just didnt have the time to fit it in. we tried numerous times and it just never really worked out.

the recovery of the c-section was far easier than i expected it to be. i had about 4 or 5 pretty rough days where i relied on cameron for everything. i couldnt get out of bed on my own, i couldnt dress myself, i couldnt even go to the bathroom without some assistance. having a baby took every bit of pride i had left right out from underneath of me! regardless of all that, it was worth it and i would do it again tomorrow...well, maybe i will wait a little longer than tomorrow!

while i wasnt able to participate in all our fun activities, i sure made my best attempt! i went to the waterslides, playland, the pne...we had a lot of visitors and spent a lot of time just doing things as a family. it was amazing. one of my favourite summers. having a baby changed the way we spent our summer, but it improved it in so many ways! cameron and i for the first time feel like we are our own family now. not just two people married to one another. our lives are forever joined.

being off work has been so great. right now i dont see myself doing anything but raising my baby to be a healthy, happy, successful person. he is an amazing person already, and he makes me proud every day. i feel sorry for those poor mamas who have to go back to work after just a short time with their newborns. i feel lucky every day that i am in canada with great benefits. where else do you get 50 weeks off to enjoy and nurture your babies?????

life as a mom is absolute bliss. its something i have always wanted and now that i am living that dream, its so much better than i ever expected. the unconditional love i have for my baby is something i cant even put into words. he really lights up my world and makes me want to be a better person every day.

i love waking up in the mornings. right now i dont really think life could be much better.
