My sweet Luvy! Happy, Happy, Happy 17th Birthday!
Almost an adult and I can remember the day you were born like it was yesterday.
- the contractions I thought were gas pains
- the waiting till the last possible minute to go to the hospital
- the drive there
- the scolding from the nurses cause I was dilated 9 as I attempted to walk through the double doors
- the smells
- the feeling of you moving around and kicking, the sensation of my water finally breaking and it was so gross
- a million people in the delivery room seeing areas of my body I didn't want them seeing
- YOU were heading out and I was not allowed to push
- I did anyway, hehehehe!
- 3 pushes later you were here!
- less than 4 hours later, from beginning to end . . . YOU WERE HERE!
- you refused to sleep in your bassinet beside my bed
- the first couple of weeks you slept on my chest and the nurses were mad. Hahahaha!
- you had trouble breastfeeding at first but then you got the gist of it . . .
- and you ate and ate and ate and ate
I still have a difficult time believing that your 17 now! An amazing young man you've become.
Happy 17th Birthday bug! (I know I'm not supposed to call you that but I just can't help it!)
I love you to the moon and back . . . and beyond the stars!
Momma
