Happy Birthday!

Well, it is birthday season in our house.....the boys' birthdays are 11 days apart and then mine in 10 days after Jamie's. I can't believe that this handsome little man is 3 already! He sure does keep us on our feet. Things aren't always easy, but we do have a lot of fun. I just love his smile, it just lights up the room...just like his brother.

He is all boy! He loves tractors, playing outside, getting dirty, being a total daredevil, being loud, and moving all the time! He loves music....playing (he has a bunch of instruments), singing and dancing. He is very musical. He is always tapping along with the beat. We listen to country music and Jamie knows at least 10 different singers and knows most of the songs before the person starts singing.

He is all about the Disney movies, especially the toy story movies. He is also into superheroes...Batman, Superman, Ironman, Spiderman....he loves them all.

His birth was not easy at all....not that having a baby is easy, but some are worse than others! I went in for a non-stress test on a Monday, one day after his due date. His movement was slowing down and they wanted to watch it. You see, this child never, never stopped moving! On this Monday, things were taking a little longer. My doctor came in and said that we would have to induce labor. He said his heart rate was dropping and that he wasn't in danger but if we would wait until my next test on Friday, then he would be in danger and I would probably need a c-section. This news made me cry....I went in for a test, not to have a baby! Being induced is not fun, it takes forever! The medicine was started around 11am on Monday and he was born at 7:30 Tuesday morning. I got an epidural and after awhile it started to ware off and then the new stuff was different and didn't really work and I was not happy! I was so tired and then the pain, I could barely push. And then I had to push for 2 1/2 hours. Then the doc came in and said he needed to come out. He had to use the forceps which is pretty painful! But, I got my precious little man! I had some issues after also. I think about that stuff a lot and as much as it sucked at the time, I did get a handsome little boy! And when you ask him how old he is, he will show you.....
