This was a cool cake, my friend made it for Nathaniel, it 's the solar system!! Awesome
Presents, Presents!!Time goes by so fast, Ten years has come and gone in the blink of an eye!! May 28Th was Nathaniel birthday, on Thursday we had a little family party, I had Nathaniel believing that, that was all we were going to do this year, little did he know that we had a surprise party planned for him on Friday!!! On Friday, the kids showed up to the party while Nathaniel was out with dad getting a few things that I needed, when he came in the house and was telling me that dad got us tickets to go and see the movie "Up". Nathaniel walked into the front room and all of the kids jumped out and screamed "Surprise!!!!" You should have seen his eyes, they just about popped out of his head and his mouth dropped to the ground. I had to laugh, it was great! Nathaniel looked at me and said "is this for me?" We all had a fun night, we grilled pizza's, had a water fight, ate cake and ice cream, and they watched a movie. Happy Birthday Nathaniel!!!!!!!!
Thinking back 10 years ago brings back a flood of memories, I remember being so sick, and not feeling the baby (Nathaniel) move. I called my mom and she said that I should go hospital and be check, so I went over to labor and delivery, they put monitors on me and did a few test. Dr. Durbin came in to talk to me and she told me that I was going into premature labor and that she wanted to give me something to try to stop the labor. My thoughts were racing what if I lose the baby, I was only about 28 weeks pregnant, that was way to early to be have the baby! They made me lay on my side and they monitored me, and ran some more tests. The medicine made me feel so sick, but my contractions felt like they were getting stronger. Later that night the Doctor came back into me and told me that the medicine wasn't working and she wanted to try one more medicine, she said in most cases the mixture of both usually stopped any labor. Between the two medicines my body and mind felt so terrible. The next morning they wanted to do a ultra sound and bio-scan to determine if the baby was doing okay, they explained that the bio scan scored the baby on movement, growth, and the amount of amniotic fluid, their was a score of 8 things they watched for. When they were done with the test they looked concerned, they told me they would let my doctor see the results and left. Within ten minutes, my Doctor was in the room, the look on her face was very concerned. She told me that the baby was not doing well and neither was I, she said that they scored the bio-scan at a one, and that we needed to do an emergency C-Section, she also went on to tell me that there was about a fifty percent chance that the baby would be okay. My head was swimming and everything felt like a whorl wind! During the C-Section they found that my placenta was abrupting, they had not noticed it in any of the ultra sounds. Nathaniel was born on May 28Th at 11 am weighing 2lbs and 13 oz. he was 13 inches long. After he was born they rushed him into the NICU and put him on a ventilator and started a pic line. Everything happened so fast that it didn't feel real. Nathaniel was a strong willed little boy, he had fight to survive, he was in the NICU for seven weeks, he did very well, he didn't have any major complications, he just needed to grow and develop a little longer. I love you Nathaniel and Hope that you know how much you mean to me! Happy Happy Birthday.....
