We're feeling a bit philosophical here at Eventual Mother today, so wanted to share some of the words that are spinning around in our head.
We hope you like it :)

One year ago today, we saw Harrison for the first time.
We were 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant and, following 4 miscarriages and a frightening first few weeks with him (during which time we'd been told we had already lost him), we were terrified.
As we edged closer to the scan room, our footsteps got shorter, but we eventually made it.
Fingers crossed and knots in stomach we waited for the verdict.
Of course, it wasn't good!
We were measuring behind and no heartbeat was present.
The midwife was about as negative as could be, explaining that it likely wasn't a viable pregnancy, and booked us in for another scan 10 days later.
Thankfully, unbelievably, that next scan was PERFECT!
He'd caught up with his growing and his heartbeat was strong.
We had a lot more scans during the pregnancy, but this first one, though somewhat tarnished, was the start of something magical.
Wow!

I remember the amazing day I found out I was carrying you
The day I saw your heart flickering on screen
The day I heard it for the first time; wow, what a sound
I remember watching my tummy grow for 9 beautiful months
I remember the sickness, the excitement, the nerves
The countdown, the questions and the wondering
I remember that magical day when I met you
When I stared in to your eyes, mesmerised
Held you to me, your tiny body taking up such a small space
I remember the first time you cried
The first time you smiled
The first time you laughed
I remember the fascination on your face as you discovered your hands
The surprise when you first rolled over
The way you would gaze up at me
I remember when we first read together
First sang together
First danced together
I remember these things so vividly, so clearly, so fondly
These were the most important moments of my life
The most amazing moments of my life
These are the moments I cherish...and you won't remember a thing
This time of your life will form the foundation, but the memories will pass you by
It will be some time before you begin to hold on to your experiences
All these incredible moments will fall away from your mind and become mine alone
You'll remember the stories, the frequent retellings of times gone by
You'll feel like you remember the moments as you will imagine them when I share
But these memories will be lost to you
These beautiful memories, the times I cherish, and you won't remember a thing
I hope you enjoyed reading this, please feel free to share x
