Not so wordless Wednesday~ Happy Birthday, Boy-o!!

Is there anything greater than becoming a mother??  Knowing you have a little person growing inside of you, it's wonderful, it's amazing and you're instantly in love. I'm not even talking about the day this little person makes their appearance, when that day happens, all that love has now bubbled up four times more.  Life as you've known it, now ceases to exists, everything you do from here on in, is all about this little person. That day happened for me 3 years ago today!


(Technically it started the day before) After a three week stay in the hospital with daily ultra sounds, on April 10 I was told my placenta completely shut down, I was induced and in great pain. I spent the whole day waiting for something to happen, baby was doing just fine so no rush to get him out. The family all rushed to be with me and still in a lot of pain, only to find out that pain wasn't labour pains (ddefinitely a FML moment!) So the waiting continues, the pain continues and I want baby OUT already! Jaelon was born via C-section on April 11, four whole weeks early. His sugars were very low, his iron wasn't great and he spent only a week in the NICU before I was able to bring him home.

Today.... today...(I need a little minute) oh today, my preemie boy is a whole 3 years old. Yes, THREE! I can't believe it.... can I just freeze time? I mean just for a little while! I know, I know, you can't freeze time *insert playful eye roll!*  Since we've established time can not be frozen, I am excited for boy-o to wake up this morning. He's getting his big present today and one new outfit, they are wrapped and sitting by the stairs so it's the first thing he'll see when he comes up. I'm probably more excited than he is, though we have been talking about his birthday and that he will be 3. We've even been singing happy birthday so when he has his party, he won't cry and get scared like he has the last 2 years!! We'll see how that goes.  The rest of our day is crazy busy, I don't think nap time will even happen, why did I book any appointments today? Oh well!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAELON!! Mommy loves you soooo much!!

Enjoy the day!
