Today is my youngest son's 5th birthday. How time flies! I remember being pregnant with him like it was yesterday! My pregnancy was not easy! I was bedridden 3 times due to complications and bleeding. I'm actually surprised he made it! That was a very stressful time in my life! We were having issues with the in-laws, and for most of my pregnancy we weren't talking to them. There was a lot of fighting going on throughout the time I was pregnant. I am thankful that my little man made it through all of that!
5 years...it just seems so impossible! I'll never forget how the nurse almost made me pass out because she kept sticking me over and over again with the IV to get it in my hand and she was missing the vein. I think even I could hit a vein in me! I said "I can't hear right and things are starting to go dark." She said "Oh, you're starting to pass out, I'll give you a minute before I try this again." I said "you have one more chance. If you don't get it in, I want another nurse!" She got it in! Then there was the epidural which wasn't in the right way and I could feel everything. They had to readjust it. I guess that was a bad day for me a needles!
I did get the greatest gift of all...my little man! It was really an amazing day...my husband, who wasn't able to be at the birth of his first son, got to see his 2nd son be born. He almost passed out when they gave me the epidural, but he made through everything else just fine! I was at total peace when I was holding my little man because I was so scared through the 9 months that I would lose him. It was such a relief to hold him in my arms! The only thing I was upset about was that my dad wasn't around to see my new little guy. I miss my dad, and times like that are the most difficult to get through. He would have loved my new little bundle of joy! At least my mom was able to be there and she brought my oldest son! She was a huge help during that time, as she always is!
Fast forward 5 years...my little man woke up to a house full of balloons! My husband had them tied to everything on the house! It was soo cute to see my boy go around counting them. There were 27...originally 30, but 3 popped! Now he's playing the Phineas and Ferb Wii game with his older brother, which he got for his birthday! He's perfectly content to just hang out! He lucked out too, today was supposed to be his first day of school, but Hurricane Irene cancelled the day and he was ecstatic that he didn't have to go to school on his birthday! We'll be heading out for lunch soon and then we'll see what he wants to do for the rest of the day!
I just can't believe how fast time flies! My baby is 5 years old! It just doesn't seem possible! I am thankful to have him in my life! I love him with all my heart and wouldn't change him for the world!
And now...time for lunch...
