8 Years already!!

Let's see, what was I doing this time 8 years ago? Oh yea...being forced into labor (for the very first time), put on a magnesium drip because of preeclampsia, contractions coming as fast as the dr. could make them, family and friends trickling in, nervous, anxious, in SOME discomfort, big as a beached whale...ending with a C-section of  a stubborn baby boy that did not want to come out. On this very day, 8 years ago,  I received one of the greatest blessing in life. I became a mommy for the very first time. I never dreamed I could love someone so much and how much my life would be forever changed! What a glorious day this is. We celebrate Braxton today. 

One of the greatest Docs...Dr. Alverson

Braxton, today you are 8 years old. I cannot believe how fast these years have gone. You are sensitive, sweet, stubborn as a mule, and opinionated. You are smart (of course you got that from me), athletic (from me as well...haha) and competitive, oh my are you competitive. You have some OCD issues and are very particular about certain things...unfortunately, this does not include keeping a tidy room!! But I love you still the same, no matter what! You are my first born, the one that taught me to follow my heart and burn every parenting book! You are the one who tells me you love me 16 times in the morning as I am driving out of the driveway for work and blow me kisses and ask how much longer it will be before we see each other again! I love that about you! Wherever your path will lead you in life, I will be two steps behind you. We have come along way, you and I and today I thank you for making me the mother I am! I love you so BIG!
