My first heart note

My dearest Zachary,
I found out one year ago that I was pregnant with you. My first reaction was one of shock! How could this be? We had tried so long for you but lost faith after over 5 years of trying. There were too many obstacles for us to covercome to become pregnant, we were told. But the OVERCOMER overcame and created you!
You are 3 1/2 months old. You have gotten so big! You are about 15 pounds. I am totally in love with you! Every little moment of every little day you amaze me. The wonder in your eyes, the love I feel for you when I look into them, is indescribable. I cannot imagine my life without you. You complete my life in such a way I cannot even put to words.
Watching you grow is a privilege. You are so wanted, and so loved.
You love it when your brothers and sister laugh at you. It makes you smile and laugh! You also love your mommy so much! Sometimes we'll go to your room and hide from the other kids just so we can spend some time alone together!
You're starting to want to sit up although mommy isn't in so much of a rush to see you grow up. You haven't rolled over yet, but I know you can. You just want to do things in your own time. You are also starting to squeal when you get excited and enjoy batting your toys with your feet. Your toes are currently your favorite toys!
I look forward to getting to know you more! Your Daddy loves you too, and misses you so much! You are such an important addition to our family. My life would not be the same without you!
I love you!
