It seems like only yesterday,
When I saw those two pink lines,
My eyes filled up with tears of joy,
My birthday wish, come true.
Sweet baby, I'd meet you!

It seems like only yesterday,
The tests led to a harsh diagnosis,
From day one I knew it would,
Pre-Eclampsia had set in,
Immediate induction it would be.

It seems like only yesterday,
I heard your shrill cry for the first time,
Watching you as they stitched me up,
They got your weight and other stats,
Before you were placed in my arms.

It seems like only yesterday,
You started with your firsts:
Smiles, giggles, rolling over,
Sticking out that tongue, and
Finding your feet.

It seems like only yesterday,
But reality has set in, and I know
That it wasn't only yesterday,
You keep me on my feet, but
That's okay, one day you'll feel the same.
