...No, not the bad kind of overwhelmed, but extremely overwhelmed with love {the kind of overwhelmed where you feel so happy and blessed that you just cannot contain yourself}! I certainly have never felt this way in my twenty four and a half years.
That 26th day of September changed me & my life forever. I have found my purpose; when so many times I wondered what I was to be doing with my life. Now, I know: To be a mom. To be the BEST mom I could possibly be. Such a humbling experience.
I must share one quick story: When A was just two days old, it was our first night home & we were finishing up giving him a bath. I wrapped him up tight in his adorable hooded towel, and my loving husband stopped and said, "Em, you are awesome. You were born to do this...to be a mommy." Instant tears. How I adore him.
Here's my sweet family out to dinner...Anderson was just 18 days old.
Anderson Lee with his Abuelo y Abuela during their visit from Puerto Rico. AMOR.
And though the Dolphins may not be that good...ok, they stink... this little one is still supporting his daddy's team. {He has no choice but to love sports!}
Let me wrap up this post by sharing another reason to be overwhelmed with love!

Congratulations to my best friend, Susan, and her awesome husband, Casey. She had quite the LONG, painful, and tiring labor & delivery experience, but now all that matters is that he's here and he's healthy {and BEAUTIFUL}! Susan is also doing well and is already the best momma. Why is God so good?!
Sweet post. There is no greater gift then to love. :)
