Happy Mother's Day or Birthday or both???

Well Son,

You took us all by surprize and you gave everyone the greatest gift of all for mother's day, YOU!!!Here is how you decided to arrive.... let's flashback to the wee hours of the morning on May 12,2007.... it is 1:30am and your Mommy wakes up Daddy and says that there is something wet in the bed. Well Daddy in his state of sleepiness asks Mommy if she is ok? She says that it is not her but her side of the waterbed that has sprung a leak.....interesting.....so while Daddy is at work, Mommy and Dee Dee decide to clean up the mess from the waterbed.....this equals strenuous activity for Mommy....for you it means a bigger light at the end of the birth tunnel.....May 13,2007....1:30 in the morning....Mommy wakes Daddy up and complains of being uncomfortable and says that she thinks she wet the bed....once again Daddy in his sleepiness asks if Mommy is okay? Mommy says oh it is no big deal go back to sleep.....Daddy at this point is concerned and tells Mommy to call her friend Stephanie, a labor and delivery nurse, and ask her opinion. Mommy calls her friend and then after realizing that HER water broke called the Labor and Delivery unit at her work. We arrive at 3am.......almost 12 hours later, you are here my Son!!!!!! You were born on Mother's Day at 2:36 pm. You weighed in at 6lbs and 7ounces, and you are 19 1/2 inches long. Mommy and you were great. Since you were a month early, you needed special care in the NICU. You are so awesome son, I love you so much!!!! I am looking forward to getting to spend quality time with you. Happy Birthday Son and thank you God for my beautiful baby boy!!!!!

Love, Daddy

Closer than we thought

Hey Brody,

First of all let me start by saying "I love you." Sometimes my world gets so busy and hectic with work that I come home so tired that I visit with your Mommy and go to sleep without telling you those three special words. The more I think about you, the more my heart feels a special warmth that causes my eyes to swell and I just want to cry. Not a sad cry but a happy cry.
We had your appointment with Dr. Tynes on Monday. It was supposed to be a routine "How is it going this week" appointment. Your Mommy was telling the nurse Mrs. Carolyn all about how she was having soreness and that she has noticed her ankles disappearing into her legs, aka cankles. The nurse let Dr. Tynes know about this and Dr. Tynes decided to evaluate your Mommy and see how you were. I will spare you the details of how this happened but Dr. Tynes felt your head and told your Mommy that she was dialated 2cm and 50% effaced, in lamens terms, if your Mommy kept being active, you would be here before we knew it. At that appointment you were 35 weeks along. We are hoping that you hang out in there for two more weeks. So now your Mommy is off work for the time being.
Your Mommy and I are looking forward to seeing you real soon. My co-workers, a bunch of lady nurses are making wagers to see who guesses the day you are born. So far the popular vote is May 27th. I like that day as well because your Mommy and I got married on that day. But the important thing is that you are healthy when you get here. So Brody, whenever God gives you the okay to show up then I will be happy with his decision. I love you son.

Love,
Daddy
