At this time, 22 years ago, I was drugged up on morphine after an emergency c-section only I had no idea they had given me that. I guess that would explain why it was difficult for me to talk without slurring when I was calling people to tell them Stephen was born. You’d think between being in labor for over 24 hours and the drugs, I’d have been knocked out but I guess the excitement beat out the exhaustion.
This is Steve on his first day of nursery school:
Ah, the good old days when I was bigger and stronger than him! Seriously, I do know how blessed I am to have a good relationship with both my children & they really are good kids. We have a lot of fun.
Hmmm…. that reminds me. I guess I better go get into the hot car and at least have a birthday cake here for him when he gets home from work. I’d make one except there’s no way that oven is getting turned on with no A/C.
Tomorrow I will post the story of, “What Does This Button Do?”
Steve was so cute. What happened?
Awww…what a handsome little boy–gorgeous head of hair! WAY worth the many agonizing hours of labor followed by the emergency c-section, huh? Again, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!!
Happy Birthday! Reminds me of my own birth story. Twenty two hours of hard labor and my sons heart rate dropped to almost nothing. Doctors and nurses flipping me on my side and running to the OR. They tried to pull him with forceps but couldn’t and then an emergency c-section and a happy healthy son (mine will be 19 in a couple of weeks.)
Superhubby is now 100% sure I have lost my mind. We were working at one of his little old ladies houses Monday and I told him I wanted to go home and check on Kim and Monkling. He asked me who that was and I was trying to explain that you guys were kind of friends that I really didn’t know. Needless to say I think he thinks I have invisible friends or am hearing voices in my head.
I will pass along the birthday greetings to the boy, if I see him today. That’s questionable.
Dave, I keep asking Steve the very same thing.
Katy, my husband has met so many of my online friends over the past 14 years that he’s used to it, although back in the beginning, he probably felt the same as yours.
Uh, oh. It’s thundering out again. Time to shut down the computer.
I’m not a shopper either. I drive my daughter crazy because I am ready to leave as soon as we get there. I did get DD 3 pairs of jeans for school this year for $25.00. I do love a bargain.
Happy Birthday to the boy.. eerrhhmm I suppose he is a man now.. oh wait hell no.. he is a boy always will be.
Awesome cluncky lunch box and what is up with those pants were they IN.. 15 years ago?? I would have to say.. I don’t think so.. were they cotton? eheheheeh
Ok I have no room to talk… my mother sent me to school for pictures in a HOMEMADE SMOCK WITH A BIG WOODEN BUTTON. do you hear me A BIG WOODEN ROUND BUTTON!!! Why did I have to take my picture in it cause she LOVED the big wooden button.. and the homemade smock.. Then another year she actually MADE me and my brother matching cottom short sets.. did you hear me.. cotton shorts.. you know the ones that she could have bought at the dollar general for a buck a pair and the legs would have been at least the same length.. but NOOOO she had to MAKE them.. cottom shorts.. who makes cotton shorts???
ok.. I am going to shut up now..
