Today,
January 31
I started having some strange pains...
I was scheduled for a C-Sec March 14
and because I had never been in labor with Grace,
I didn't know for sure what I was feeling
so...
I called the Dr. who was 2 hours away ~~ we were in the middle of a very cold blizzard
He told me it was Braxton-Hicks..take a rest...call if something changes
in the middle of the night when my water broke
I called the hospital and asked that they call him
the nurse said
"honey, you come on over to the hospital and when you get here, if your water really did break then we'll call your doctor"
I said ok...I'm headed that way...btw..I'm down for a C-sec March 14
met me at the door
He was born February 1, 1984 and currently is in possession of all baby photos
this is the day he took my scissors and cut his hair
he was born with a high and tight
or as he called it when he combed it...
"a shelf"
like his Uncle Jamie's
I always dressed him and Grace alike
something I think he's never really forgiven me for
the tree he's leaning on is just a few blocks down from where we live now
here he is
a man
choosing art
married
baby on the way
these are the kind of photos I get from him
these are his cucumbers
sometimes he sends photos of
his roses
cardinals in his trees
his dogs
the new car
and just the other day
a new little man
that I can only pray that will give him as much
joy
pride
happiness
honor
as he has given us
Today...this is the email I got from him
I hope you will take the time to watch it because it is where we live
and it is truly amazing
both that it's where we live and that these are the kinds of things he sends my way
pura vida

Thank you to you and your fine son for sharing that video. I've never been to Texas and am awed at the beauty captured in those photographs. It's a lot like Alberta, my Dad's home province with wide open spaces and blue, blue skies!
Good morning! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video and music.

My daughter was six weeks early too! Kind of scary then, but she's all caught up now. Happy birthday to your son, who I know will always be your baby!
