Exactly 1 year ago today, you and I were fighting together in the craziest, scariest, most incredible battle of our lives. After 16 hours of waiting and intensifying labor pains, they told me that my contractions were coming too fast, resulting in contractions on top of contractions. And your sweet, precious, perfect little heart was struggling to keep up. We had no choice but to do an emergency C-section and bring you into this world as quickly as possible. This year with you has been the hardest, most trying, most exhilarating, most joyful in all my 31 years. You were a fighter from day one — strong, persistent, and determined to make your way in this world. And I’m so blessed to be by your side to witness your journey. Happy birthday, baby boy. You have my whole ❤️ and I’ll love you forever. #happybirthday #manymanymore #1yearold #timeflies #staythissmallandsweetforever #please #TeamRivers @riversitogordito @mcastanedafilm https://www.instagram.com/p/B59RJzCnBto/?igshid=qmi15o5nywr2
