Our year long journey...

Happy Birthday Baby Kaiden!!! I can't even believe it has already been a year since I was begging, praying and trying everything I could possibly do to have this little boy. Looking back at this time last year my parents went out of town for there anniversary and they made me promise to hold little Kaiden in till they got home from vacation. Well the next day after they headed out on there getaway the labor pains started. I was scared to call them because first of all I promised that Kaiden would wait for there return and I had contractions so often in the weeks prior that I wasn't sure if this time would really be it. We just kept track of them for a while and by midnight we were rushing to the hospital. I get in and get checked and yep to my pleasure not my parents it was true labor this baby was coming whether they were here to witness it or not. (Sorry Mom). Well by the next night I was still in labor with no baby yet. They checked me and found out that his cord was coming and not him so we were then rushed to the operating room to have a emergency C-section. Sean stated that it looked like something off of TV the way they were throwing cords and rushing about the room out of control. We are now in the O.R. and the nurse states that there is now no pulse on the cord she is holding in her hands. I flipped and the Dr went ahead and put me fully under. Well we all know the outcome because we have a beautiful, vibrate, lovable little boy today. He was healthy with no complications and everything was good. I know that I was blessed and watched over in that operating room and I have the proof of that, Little Baby Kaiden. Our lives this last year have been so blessed with this child and we are such a lucky family to have him be apart of it. I know it was also a great joy for mom and dad to come home to a new bouncing baby boy.

One year ago!

Now a year later we celebrated his first birthday! He was so adorable eating his big boy cake and making a handful of mess. It was a great celebration and it was also nice to be able to have my sister Sarah and her 3 little kiddos here to be apart of it all. I forgot how much they actually learn in just the first year of life. He is walking, starting to talk and getting into whatever is at his level to touch. He does love his kisses and his hugs too! We just can't wait to see what this next year brings and what he develops in his own personality.
