It’s that special time of year again, my baby boy’s birthday. There are so many things I remember about that day 34 years ago.
I remember:
1. That day like it was yesterday, the day I became a boy mom. 💙 💙 💙
2. Kimberly being so excited to meet her new sibling, dropping her off at my sister’s house and trying to keep a straight face so not to worry her, while in the midst of a contraction. 😖 She had been my only baby love 💖 until that point and I have always wanted to protect her. I vowed to only add to her life not take away.
3. Wishing my Dad was there but he was at work, he did come to the hospital as soon as he was off work. He wanted to meet his newest grandchild. My Dad loved his grandchildren, love of them.
4. Being excited to see, hold and love on my newest child. I did not know in advance I was having a boy. I did know God had blessed me twice and would forever be grateful.
5. The anesthesiologist giving me too much meds in my epidural and not being able to move or feel my legs at all. Having a panic attack 😱, the doctor talking me down and lowering the dosage and soon all was good.
6. At 9:59 PM, almost 10 hours after my first contraction, the sweet sound of a baby crying and the doctor saying you have a boy and falling in love immediately. 👩🍼
7. My Mom coming in to the room with tears in her eyes 🥲 and seeing my son. My Dad coming a little later and how proud he was to meet his newest grandson.
8. Every part of this special day 34 years ago, my thoughts, my worries, my feelings and most of all my happiness and love for this special boy 💙 that has never wavered only grew.
I love you baby boy 💙 and hope your day is as special as you are. Give my love to Leasly as well.
Love, Mom 💖🥰💖🥰
