Twelve Years Ago Today...

...my baby boy was born!
Happy Birthday Brennan!!!
The day looks exactly the same today as it did 12 years ago. Sunny and FREEZING cold! The governor closed all of the schools in the state that day because it was so cold outside. But we were warm and cozy snuggling with our brand new baby boy. I would have bet you money that he was a girl when I was pregnant (we didn't have an ultrasound done.) So, when Dr. Judy said it was a boy the look on Bill's face was absolutely priceless! A few hours after he was born I moved to my new room and I asked the nurse where my husband was. She replied, "He's with your son." I remember that statement just throwing me for a loop. I had to stop and think - "A son? I don't have a son. Oh wait, I DO have a SON!!!"

And what a son he has been. Such a sweet, caring, loving, sensitive boy. He is so smart, so concerned about other people and their feelings and so talented. I could listen to him sing all day long. I just love this little boy so much! I was terrified to have a boy, but I couldn't be more thrilled even 12 years later.

I love you Brennan!!! Hope you have the best birthday!!!

What a sweet post, Vicki. I love the part about her saying "your son." :) I love my boy so much...he's just 8, but I know 12 will be here before I know it!
