Happy Birthday Little A!!!!

Today Little A turned 3-years-old! Can you believe it? I remember posting here and telling everyone all about feeling sick and how later I found out I was pregnant.  I also remember feeling scared out of my mind when I got that cortizone shot and right after that finding out. The pregnancy was one of my best ones, even if I gained a ton of weight from it. 

Remember how I painted the Belly for Halloween? That was his first Halloween and he wasn't even out of the tummy yet, he saw that picture last night as I was combing through my blog to look at photos. (one good thing about keeping a blog, it stores your memories) He kept saying, "ew yuck, mommy eat me." I tried telling him he was in there. Big mistake, he ran to dad.

Finally, it was time for him to be born. He already passed what I thought would've been his due date but docs let him keep going. He was induced and came much later in the evening of March 14, 2007. He was the longest one I had to wait on. I went in at 5am and had to wait until almost 5pm to give birth. Normally I went in during labor and gave birth within that hour, if not sooner. He came with a shock, the doctor broke my water and left. I had told him the moment he did that he'd be coming but didn't believe me. Thankfully he got back in there. Phew.

I wont' lie there have been times where this little man scared me: Within the first few months he didn't respond to noise or even cry, when we took him in for hearing they said maybe he just didn't have a reason.Eventually we heard him. Phew. Another time he quit breathing, dad rushed him to ER, right before he got there he started back up and doctors never could figure out why. At two months old he'd cut his first tooth completely through. OUCH!

Today, he's my little daredevil and I wouldn't change him at all. We had a small party today, green streamers and a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Not to mention his gifts, his favorite being his blocks which he even passed his cake to get back on the ground and play. All in all, I'd say this was a great day and a special one to think on the past. Happy Birthday Little A!
