Little Man's Birth Story...Part Two

Today, January 16, was your due date, sweet boy.  Instead, we are celebrating your 2 week birthday...God decided to allow us to meet you early, and I'm so glad He did.  Now, I would be lying if I said these last 2 weeks have been easy.  Each day has been a learning experience for me and your daddy and your Maw Maw but, with you, our lives have been blessed beyond measure and abundantly full.  



"O my people, trust in Him at all times.  Pour out your heart to Him for God is your refuge."  Psalm 62:8

So, where were we with your story..oh yes, the three of us in the operating room...

Little Man's Birth Story...Part One...Labor and Delivery

Pull up a comfy chair, grab a cup of coffee, and be prepared to sit a while...this story has some length to it.  I feel it's necessary to share little man's birth story for my own benefit...making myself write it all down helps me to remember each and every moment...and because I believe that God never wastes our trials, circumstances, pains, and joys.  I'm certain that I am not the only one out there who needs to be reminded of the faithfulness of the God that we serve...oh and He is ever faithful dear heart.

I am also sharing this so that, one day, when he is older, little man will be able to read the account of his birth.  For that reason, I'm writing this post to him.

     It has taken me almost 2 weeks to get this all together...partly due to my memory and the large amount of medication that blurred the 40 hours leading up to your birth but mostly because of the sheer exhaustion and emotion that your birth day brought.  As you lay here beside me sleeping, each and every moment of that day and the next few days to follow were more than worth it...it brought me you!
