I Can't Believe...

We had a fun birthday party at Main Event Bowling. The kids loved bowling and eating and playing fun games!


I can't believe my baby is 7! I still vividly remember your birth.

It was 10 days early, but the doctor thought you were a really big baby so we were heading to the hospital to have you. Mimi flew in from Big D at 9:30 that night and we were to be at the hospital at midnight! After we arrived they took me in and hooked me up to monitor me. After about 15 minutes they came in and everyone started making a big fuss about your heart rate. After several minutes of twisting me and turning me around to try to figure out what was going on they told us that they felt like we couldn't wait for my doctor but needed to do an Emergency C-section. They wheeled me to an operating room and daddy walked out to tell Mimi what was going on and to get the camera, but by the time he got back you were already here. They told me it was the fastest C-section they had done, it took only 3 and 1/2 minutes.

Mommy was asleep for a while and when I woke up I wanted to know right away where my little boy was. Finally, after I cried for a while, Daddy talked them into bringing you in for me to see. I didn't let anyone separate us without a fight for the whole time we were in the hospital. I didn't want to take my eyes or hands off of you! I am still just as protective of you today as I was the day you were born.
