My Baby Boy is 3!!!!

I can't believe that this time 3 years ago I was seeing my baby boy for the 2nd time. I had him at 1:15 in the afternoon and I had to wait until about 6:00 to finally see him. I remember being in recovery for far too long because my room wasn't clean. But it was worth the wait. They brought him in and he smelled so good and he was so heavy! I'm used to handling babies at work, but they are always about 7 pounds. I remember when they put him on my chest in the OR, the nurse said 'He's heavy' and I remember just saying 'okay'. But they layed him on me and I think I gasped for air! I remember thinking, just like every mother, that he was the cutest thing I've ever seen. And he has only gotten cuter. He sure has developed a personality. He's very independent and bossy! Trying to get a handle on it now before he gets out of control. He is so sweet though, when he's not pitching a fit. He LOVES his momma, which I of course love. He loves to sit in my lap, and loves to hold my hand.

We had his party this last saturday and a bounce place here in town. I was not happy. January birthdays are hard to plan. You can never depend on the weather. Turns out this last weekend would have been a perfect day to have something here at the house, but oh well. When I booked the party, I expressed that I wanted a private party. I did not want a bunch of kids I didn't know jumping with my party....which is what happened. They changed the rules and said I couldn't have a private party with the package I booked. If I had known that, I would have NEVER booked it there. Noah was sick anyway, with the flu (just found that out today), so he didn't enjoy himself anyway. But he didn't want to jump of slide because there were too many other kids. There were 7 and 8 year olds trampling over the 3 year olds. The party room itself wasn't bad. The cake was DELICIOUS (yes, I made it :) ), and he got some good gifts. And we ended up getting most of our money back, so I'm happy with that.

Happy birthday sweet boy! I am so thankful that God gave me you as my little tooter man. I hope you continue to grow into the sweet little boy I hope for. I love you more than you will ever know!
