Lucky for me, I was right! Say hello to little Ashton Saans! Ashton was born on Monday, at 6:03 A.M. He was born with the traits! The moment I laid eyes on him, I knew I could never love anyone more. Not even Joshua, who had been there for me through everything. That part confused me. How could so much of my heart go to my sweet Ashton, even though I just met him. Sure he was inside me for nine months, but I'd known Joshua for at least six years!
As soon as he left my arms, Ashton was scooped right up into Joshua's. The sight made me feel fuzzy. We may not have much, but Ashton and Joshua are all I could ever ask for.
As I watched Joshua and Ashton interact, I couldn't help but notice their strong bond. Even from across the room, I could feel the love radiating off of Joshua. Ashton was definitely a daddy's boy. I walked over, and Joshua cuddled Ashton with his left arm, while squeezing my shoulders with his right one. He kissed us both, and I felt like nothing could ever be better than what we had.
Once we tucked Ashton into his little blue crib together, Joshua held me in his arms, and I relaxed into him. We fit perfectly, and at that moment, I was more sure than ever at what we had, our love as well as our growing family, was precious. I looked up into his big green eyes, and he lowered his head until our lips touched, softly. "Kyla Saans, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me." He whispered, our lips barely touching.
We both felt a huge rush of energy, pulling us together. Although we were holding each other, we still weren't close enough.
Later that night, neither of us could fall asleep. We lay in bed talking into the early hours of the morning. Every once in a while Ashton would wake up, and one of us would walk over to his crib and snuggle the daylights out of him, until he would fall into a peaceful sleep once again. Many parents complain about their children waking up in the night, but Joshua and I find comfort in it, looking forward to spending more moments with our lovely child.
The next morning was Ashton's first birthday! We had a private party in the house, and he loved it! He even got a little bit of cake! We spent the day playing, eating plenty of cake, and enjoying time together as a family. We were planning on going to the park to celebrate, but a thunderstorm came out of nowhere, forcing us to have as much fun as possible inside our tiny one roomed house!
At one point during the day, I caught Joshua gazing at his wedding ring. The sight made my heart swoon with happiness. He was just as in love with our family as I was! I started having thoughts, maybe we could have another child? But this definitely wasn't the time. Maybe once we expanded the house, and Ashton grew up a little more. I was so excited about the idea, that I could almost feel a baby in my stomach.
