Three Years Ago

Three years ago tonight I was in labor with excruciating pain. I was anxiously awaiting the birth of my first baby and now the time had finally arrived. No one could have ever prepared me for the mix of emotions that I went through-I tried waiting for as long as I could before I woke up Trevor but eventually it was time to go. On the way there I teared up because I was so overcome with excitement to finally meet my baby, the physical pain, and the fear of the unknown. After hours of labor and pushing we welcomed a sweet, skinny, cone-headed adorable baby, Tate Wayne Probandt into the world. It was the most rewarding and exhausting experience. I've never ever loved someone or something so much and I still feel that way every time I look at him. My heart is full and when I look at him I know that God loves me very much for giving me such a precious gift. Every day he makes me laugh. He makes me proud and watching him grow into the little boy is such a joy. 

I love you baby boy! Although you are now, as you say "a big strong man", you'll always be my baby!
