Happy Birthday Charlie

I cannot BELIEVE my baby is turning 8 today!!! I seems like just yesterday, I was sitting in the bathroom, praying over that pregnancy test, hoping it would be positive...what a roller-coaster ride of a life I have been on!!! God sent us something very special the day we had Charlie. He is kind, considerate and has a huge heart for others. I can't imagine what I ever did without him and can't wait to see the man he will grow to become....I know God has big plans for him and I pray for wisdom to be the mother that God wants me to be, so that I can lead and guide him to listen to God's voice and desire God's will for his life. Oh how humbling and what a special privilege!!

Here was my big belly a few days before delivery...doctor estimated 6#8oz but he was 8#6oz!! What a surprise!!

Here I am, DELIVERY DAY!! Nervous, a little anxious and very excited!!

There aren't 2 parents in the world that could've been more excited than we were that day to see our baby boy!! Man, we were looking young!!

Then, at last, after a fast first delivery, my angel was here, looking SOOO much like his daddy!!!


On that day, little did I know what "interesting" things the next 2 or 3 weeks would hold!! Maybe one day I will write that out, but for now, thanks to all of my sweet friends that took care of us and helped us through:) I am sure it changed your lives and gave you a "whole new perspective" on things!!! Thanks to Charles too for stepping up and taking care of us, even though he had never held a baby!! My, how things have changed and look at us now!!!

Happy Birthday Charlie!!! I will love you forever, I will like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be....
