It's birthday week

It's birthday week at our house

for this handsome little guy

I can't believe it was 7 years ago today

that I was begging my Doc to induce me

I was miserable

With swollen ankles

High blood Pressure

A two year old

and

A fear of having a baby on Christmas

WOW- I was huge!

I must only have good luck when I'm pregnant

because the Doc would only induce IF -

I was dilated to at least 3

Well guess what, this mama was at 4 and READY

I only had a few days to get my life in order

before baby number 2 would make his or her arrival

We had an ultrasound at 20 weeks
The technician showed us what she thought were BOY parts

The hubby didn't agree and was determined that black spot was a shadow

I was 100% sure we were having a BOY until the week I delivered

EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE

told me I must be having a girl

I began to panic and started packing pink things

JUST IN CASE

The technicians have been wrong before
and I didn't want to have a precious little girl dressed in blue sleepers

The next 3 days would be the longest 3 days of my life

but in the end, they would be so worth it

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK PARKER!
