13 Years Old!!!! Happy Birthday Alex!!

Surprise to the both of us that I was prego just months after we married. Especially after the docter told us we had on a 1% chance of every having a child. Even more of a surprise when I went into labor on Labor Day, 13 years ago.
.
Alex was a premie  Born two months early and weighing only 4 lbs.  He was a miracle.  No problems, just little.  He stayed at the hospital for 30 days and then we got to bring him home.

I was scared and wanted to take him back to the hospital. But my rock was there and he did things I couldn't do. I had a touch of post partum, but that didn't last long.
Alex has grown from a cute little baby to a very handsome young man.  He is kind and gentle, like his dad.  Very helpful and trusting like his mom. 
He makes being a mom so easy.  I love it when he gives me hugs.  They remind me of his dad.  They are genuine.  I can see in him how much he tries to do the right things.  I pray he keeps that about him.
I am a "groud" mother.  I am so blessed to have such a person in my life and I am the lucky one to get to call him "son."
I love you Alex.  Happy Birthday "baby"!

  1. That's crazy that our babys have the same birthday... I am liking you more and more as I realize how much we have in common :)

    How is the running thing going? I didn't run all last week because I was subbing for some zumba classes and I was afraid to overlap zumba AND running. Then when Monday came around (yesterday) I was just out of the mood and out of the groove. I think that it is going to take a while to get it going for me...
