On June 5th, 2008 my life as I knew it changed forever. The most perfect baby boy~Caleb Erin Conway~ came into this world. 8lbs 8oz and 21inches long….full of joy! It was this very day that I learned the true meaning of love. I went from "thinking" I knew everything, those of you who know me understand this statement, to feeling completely uncertain....How was I going to take care of a newborn baby? How do you burp him or change his diaper? Will I be a good mother to him? Will I know all the right things to say and when to say them? So many questions ran through my mind as I held him in my arms and kissed his sweet forehead. I didn’t know all the answers then, and I still don’t today, and chances are I never will…..But there was one thing that I was sure of ….. I loved this precious baby boy more than anyone or anything, more than myself. The love that I felt for him was unspeakable -yet prevailing enough to make me cry uncontrollably. It was so amazingly overwhelming. I just couldn't believe how much I loved someone so completely and so entirely.....instantly! This is the day that I learned the true meaning of "love at first sight". Caleb changed me in so many ways- inside and out. He broke me down and showed me the purpose in my life- and that was to love and protect him for the rest of his.
