A year ago today, you made an entrance into the world & into our lives. And in an instance you changed my life 360°. The moment I heard your first cry, I didn't know I was also brought to tears until I ran through my camera roll today to look for a throwback picture to post for your birthday. But one thing I know for sure: your first breath took mine away. That was a magical moment. Seeing another human being come to life from my own flesh is just awesome! Today is not just your birthday! It's OUR birthday! Coz when you were born, I was also reborn! I'm not the same person before there was you. I became a MOTHER! Joyeux anniversaire, mon amour!💋👼💙 iloveyou always & forever! 😍👪❤ #xanderpierre #PierresFirstBirthday #mommydiaries #tbt #firsthouroflife #birthphotography #firstcry (at Perpetual Succour Hospital)

You were the true test of my strength, that's what I always say after giving birth to you. From going through the roller-coaster ride of pregnancy to enduring the indescribable, incomparable, unfathomable pain of labor & delivery is, for me, an achievement like that of a diploma and a license. 'Twas a bumpy ride, but a fun one. 'Twas worth it after all! Joyeux anniversaire, mon amour! 💋👼💙 iloveyou always & forever! 😍👪❤ #xanderpierre #PierresFirstBirthday #mommydiaries #firsthouroflife #tbt #birthphotography #firstlatch (at Perpetual Succour Hospital)

You came as a surprise coz you were not planned, but you're not a mistake coz you came at the right time -His time! You put our lives in order. Your father and I have never been more mature since you came. You inspired us to better ourselves. Before there was you everything we did was for ourselves, our wants, our comfort; but now, you're the center of our world, everything we do & everything we aspire to do is all because of & for you and that's okay coz you've brought us nothing but sheer joy (with a touch of impatience & a li'l bit of exhaustion on the side. Lol). Happy Birthday, mon amour! 💋👼💙 iloveyou always & forever! 😍👪❤ #xanderpierre #PierresFirstBirthday #mommydiaries #firsthouroflife #tbt (at Perpetual Succour Hospital)
