wow - 8 years ago today I was laying in a hospital bed hooked up to lots of drugs and stuff trying to induce labor - yep this started in the morning and continues till the next day. Anyhow - my water broke 8 years ago tonight - but Nate still was NOT ready to be born - he waits till 6:23 pm on July 9th!
It was a bitter sweet moment as I cried to have my mom there JUST ONE MORE TIME to see and hold her first grandchild - but she wasn't. She passed away 17 days earlier - that sucked. Anyhow - I now believe that she was up in heaven and hand picked Nate - since we never could tell his gender - I believe she hand picked this soul for us - and held him for those days until he was born. And she had a hand in picking Curt as well!
I can't believe my beautiful boy was born 8 years ago - and we just had another big birthday party yesterday on one of the hottest days of the year! We had a bounce house, cotton candy and snow cone machine and great friends! Tomorrow we'll celebrate at his choice of restaurants. It will be amazing -
I love my family and life so much - he is a blessing that brought our family together. So lucky to have these great kids!
