I do have a four-year-old son who is the most adorable and curious little boy ever! His presence has brought so much joy and meaning into my life. I can't imagine my world without him.

His arrival definitely kept me on my toes, especially because I was a single mother from the very beginning. It was challenging but equally fulfilling to navigate motherhood all by myself. Fortunately, I had amazing family support, which made the journey smoother.

His birth story is quite interesting! When I went into labor, it progressed so quickly that we nearly had to do a roadside delivery on the way to the hospital. Luckily, we made it just in time, and he was born healthy and crying loud in the safe confines of the delivery room. It was a crazy and fun start to his life - my little adventure buddy!
