My son has arrived. A new life in the world. I'm overwhelmed, confused (hey, I'm a first time mom - nothing makes any sense to me!) and grateful all at the same time. He's healthy and happy and really, that's all that matters. I laugh and cry within seconds. It's crazy.
I look at him and cannot believe he's here. I am someone's mother (!!!). One day, he'll love me like I loved my mother. He'll miss me when I'm away. He'll cry for me. It's overwhelming that I've put another person in this position. A person that I've made.
I put off having children for years because I was so scared to put someone in the position I found myself in for so many years. But now, he's here. I hope I can be a good mom. I hope he loves me to bits. Even though I took care of my mom for 16 years, this feels like a whole new game.
I wish my mom was here to meet him and help me. My DH has been amazing. So amazing that I cry. I have met a completely different side of him that I never knew existed. My siblings have been amazing too ~ this baby has brought them closer to me. And my friends, I couldn't live without.
I'll keep you updated my readers...citymom

Congratulations, CityMom, and welcome to the world, CityMomSon!
I'm so thrilled for you. I know, from having read your blog, just how much nurturing and caring you have inside you that has been bursting to come out for years. I'm excited for you that you will have this new adventure to take, looking out for a new person who will be growing and developing every day. Like you say, it's a whole new game.
If I understand correctly, the new arrival has also helped heal some of the fissures in your family that had you so frustrated after your Mom passed. I do hope so.
As for the chance that you might one day need him to care for you, it's not a certainty and you have plenty of time now to plan to avoid burdening him with too much responsibility in the remote future. You will have the chance, in years to come, to tell him about his Grandma and what you did for her and what she needed (just in case).
But, in the meantime, you have a new and joyous focus in your life. I'm so pleased that you have shared this with us.
Be well, all 3 of you

I'm so excited for you.
And I know you'll embrace this and be amazing. Cuz you are amazing.
I'm 6 years into this whole mothering thing ... and I still laugh and cry within seconds. I think you've been a first hand witness to that.
You little boy is incredibly lucky to have you. And I promise when you hear the first "I love you" (and alright the million subsequent I love you's) you'll understand just how much you've given him.
And even though your mom isn't here to share it with you, this is your chance to share a part of your mom with someone.
(that's really easy for me to say ... I know)
Be brave.
Survive.
OMG! last time I read a post you were pregant and now your a mom. I am so behind in reading. My son will be 21 on April 2011 . I have to say he is the joy of my life and without him there would of been no meaning to my life. He is the best thing I have ever done. You have an amazing life ahead of you. So glad all is well with family and friends. You deserve the best and you are going to be a great Mom.
