Ten years ago today my life completely changed forever. I became a mom. A boy mom.
After 5 hours in labor, and after just receiving an epidural, I was taken back to the OR for a C-Section. Labor was not progressing and sweet baby Blake was going into distress with every contraction. I was put under general anesthesia and moments later my 9 lb, 11 oz. baby boy was born.
This baby is still just as sweet as ever....but not nearly so high on the weight percentile charts now. Blake is our tender-hearted, God-loving, perfectionist, video game-loving boy. Words cannot express how much he means to us. We are excited to see all that God has for him in the days to come.
Today we celebrated by having a friend sleep over, enjoying a pancake breakfast at church that raised money for missions, going to the movies, playing a little Lego Rock Band and birthday dinner from Mimi and Papa. We also spent time downloading aps to Blake's new iPod Touch.
I don't know how this happened, but my baby is not a baby anymore. I'm ok with that, but I do hope we can slow the next few years down and savor every moment.
