In the last week of my medicine rotation, my biggest guy was celebrating a birthday! That means, three years ago, I became a mom!  Time has gone so quickly, and this little man has come along for the ride, for better or for worse!

Many of you know that I'm a rather tough nut, but I vividly remember rocking my little baby and crying tears of joy on my first mother's day. I couldn't grasp with words how fulfilled I was with this life, at that very moment. I was overwhelmed by the insane depth of my gratitude, and it all hit me at once. That was three years ago now, and my heart continues to grow.

Because our life is crazy and he's happy with every waking day, we kept his celebration low key. On the weekend we celebrated with a grill out and a blue Funfetti cake! We held off on gifts and simply enjoyed each others company. He had a friend over to play and run around the basement, and he was the happiest boy around.

Becoming a mom was one of my greatest joys and accomplishments. My big guy keeps me honest, playful, and down to earth. He expands his world every day and I cannot wait to see what the years ahead bring for him!
