Happy Birthday Bubba

I have an 11 year old! Crazy! It so seems like yesterday that we were FREAKING out because our doctor informed us that we were going to have a baby. We were not ready. I had not had a baby shower and we had nothing prepared at home. It was May 31st and he was not due until June 18th. I had toxemia and when I went to my appt my blood pressure was high so my dr asked when my last day of work was. I told him Friday then he said how about today (Wednesday). I looked at him puzzled and said what? He said you are having this baby tonight. I looked at John and chuckled and said yeah right and the dr said no I am serious I have called over to the hospital and they have a room ready for you so head on over. He left the room and we were in shock. John was still in his grungy work clothes and we had nothing to take the baby home in. After a few phone calls we got settled into our room and then people started arriving and as soon as I saw my mom I settled down a bit. John went with his mom to have some dinner and the dr came and broke my water. Soon after, heavy contractions started so I wanted the epidural, so my mom called John back so he could be there to help. (I hate needles) So very grateful for epidurals! It was pretty easy from there and about 7 hours later from when they started me, 1:31am June 1st we had our little boy. 6lbs 4oz 20in. Now he is 11 and maybe 2in shorter than I am. How time flies. He is such a sweet kid. He adores his dad and looks up to him and tries to be like him in every way. He has such a tender heart and is always looking out for his brothers. (when not trying to pin them down) He is such a goofball and loves to make people laugh. Which we do alot. He is such a help to John and I and we are so very grateful and lucky he is in our family. We love him very much!

We went to Boondocks and had such a great time!
