How I Came to Be Here

Mom and dad prayed to have a baby for years. It was a really tough time for them. During the almost four year journey, they endured a lot of disappointments and setbacks. Although, things looked grim, they kept their faith in God and always believed they'd one day have a son. My mom was a high school teacher. So, she always enjoyed the breaks teachers receive throughout the year. However, during Spring Break of 2006, she felt really exhausted all the time. She had no energy to do anything except lay around, eat, and sleep. Mommy began thinking she might be pregnant. But, not wanting to face another disappointment, she put the thought out of her mind. A few days later, she found out I was on the way. She couldn't believe it! I could feel how happy my mom was. She told my dad by giving him a card from me. He was so thrilled that he cried (don't tell him I told you).Throughout mom's pregnancy, I was right on target. I grew the way I was supposed to and maintained good health. I didn't even make mom get sick like some pregnant ladies do. She did have a few headaches and skin problems. But, I was worth it. While she was pregnant, mommy loved that I would kick a lot and poke my tush out. Sometimes we'd play games. I would kick where she tapped on her tummy. That made me so excited that I tried to come early (when my mom was 35 weeks). Mom started having contractions that wouldn't stop. She spent a night in the hospital and got off work for a few days after that.I decided to go ahead and stay in for a while longer. I got to eat a lot of fruit and sour stuff from mommy. So, that led me to decide to stay in mommy's tummy past my due date (12/1). I finally made my debut on December 6, 2006. It was a great day! It's the day that marked the beginning of a brand new family.So, now I'm here. Daddy and mommy couldn't be happier. I love for just the three of us to play and spend time together. When we do, I talk and laugh a lot. We have so much fun.

Our Precious Gift from God

It took a lot of prayer, doctor visits, and hard work from mom and dad, but I'm finally here. That's right! I'm a living breathing miracle. That's why my middle name means, Gift from God. Everyday with my wonderful family is a blessing. Mom stays home with me and we have lots of fun. We play together and then I have learning time too. No matter what we're doing, we share lots of hugs, kisses, and laughs!
