3 years ago today my little star was born at home in a birthing tub with no drugs. It was the most amazing (and painful!) experience of my life and always will be. It's been a hard long road but Michael, I love you more and more each day and can't wait to experience life with you as you grow and learn in this beautiful world. "You are my sunshine". Much love, mom.
