My little man turns two today.
Two years ago today I was hanging out downstairs wondering when I would ever go into labor. I had just finished a two-hour marathon of Guitar Hero (yes, I know its a silly game, but it kept my mind off of things) and decided to take a shower and freshen up. No labor pains, no signs of ANYTHING. The Dr. said it could be two weeks before it happened so I wasn't prepared for the sharp cramps I started to have the second I got into the shower. All the sudden, (and I'm talking within 10 minutes) I was having contractions that had me doubled over. I couldn't believe that I could go from zero to sixty so fast, but it was happening that way regardless.
I got out of the shower, managed to get dressed and downstairs and told my honey it was time to go. He looked at me like I was crazy, but I think once he saw my eyes he knew I was serious. We threw our stuff in the car, and we were off like a dirty shirt.
We live about 10 minutes (with traffic) from the hospital, but I'm not lying when I tell you that if there had been a train that day, little Ayden would've been born right there in the car!
We made it to the hospital and I think that I managed to get onto the table and talked to the nurse for about 10 minutes before I was ready.
So don't hate me, but Ayden Joel took an entire 30 minutes to make his appearance. That's start to finish ladies. Yep, God is good.
He is so beautiful. And Sweet. And funny. And Rambunctious. And I have a feeling he is going to be a sports fanatic. He loves any sport that involves a ball and has an arm like a star pitcher.
He loves to play the drums and listen and dance to music.
He has an amazing vocabulary and his voice is like a sweet little angel, especially when he is telling me "I love you mommy!"
I love watching him play with his older brothers. He gets such joy out of just being with them.
He is tough and loves playing hard. Dirty and sweaty (and like the picture below, sometimes he is bleeding!) at the end of the day, every day.
He can count to 10 and is quickly learning his ABC's.
I know this new year will bring many new discoveries and adventures - I look forward to them all.
Happy 2nd Birthday Ayden Joel.

Oh my what a sweetheart he is to us all. These two years went by so quickly. Even more so because I live farther away. I too look forward to the years to come. To be a part of all the wonderful things in his life. He is blessed to have you as his Mama!
Blessings,
