Happy Birthday Adam!
11 years ago today at 3:21 pm I gave birth to my firstborn. He is the only one of my children that wasn't born by c-section. His delivery was so difficult. I was very sick with pre-eclampsia and really don't remember lots of it. It was probably the most traumatic event that had happened to me at that point in my life but he was oh so worth it.
He's been through a lot in his 11 years. It was one month after his fourth birthday that we got his leukemia diagnosis. He had been sick for months. He was in the most intense pain and spent most of his days just struggling to walk. It was almost a relief to know it was cancer because at least we had an anwser to what was going on. His pediatrician had made me feel like an idiot numerous times. I was glad to know that I wasn't crazy and he really needed help.
Fast forward 7 years! He's an intelligent, caring, compassionate young man. He says he has a call to missions on his life. I am looking forward to the future and what God has in mind for him. I know he's going to do FANTASTIC things for the world.
Happy Birthday Adam!

Adam is a good kid! Like many geniuses he (and his mom) are misunderstood at times.
I don't remember much of that birthing stuff too, as I was asleep in the chair. No, I vividly remember the birthing part and the huge placenta, and the doctor ripping it out of you like he was cleaning out a pumpkin at Halloween. Yeah it was kinda like a horror film come to think of it. Your mom was there and everything.
Happy Birthday Adam. (My oldest biological kiddo will be 11 this weds- and the ironic thing is she was my only C section birth.)
