Big Boy Now...

Last Saturday Myles had his birthday. I can not believe it has been a year with him already. Yet, at the same time it feels like he has been here longer than a year. As I reflect on the year with Myles I can only start with the incidents which occurred during the birthing process. I will admit that day was probably the scariest day of my life. Primarily because I was helpless when my wife was in trouble. Due to my job I am use to being in control and the one who handles the problems. However, that day in the delivery room was different. The doctors were the ones calling the shots and all I could do was standby, watching as more doctors and nurses flooded into the room with bags of blood for Kate. Watching the frustration on a doctor's face grow is something I never want to see again. They concluded the only thing left would be emergency surgery. They wheeled her bed right out the door and rushed her off. I wasn't allowed to go in with her. By the time I made it back to the room a team of nurses had cleaned it up. So there I was in our delivery room, with my new son and his tiny little bed. The room seemed so empty without Kate and her bed in it. As friends and family began to fill the room we prayed for Kate's safety and precision for the doctors. As time went by the doctors came up and advised us Kate was doing well. We were told the chances of us getting pregnant again would be very very small. However, our God is very very big. We know that if He wants us to have another then we will. I am so thankful for those nurses, doctors, friends and family. We are truly blessed by God in so many areas. God brought you into this world in a very special way Myles. We have a feeling God has a very special plan for you. We love you!

I must admit, when I saw the sentence "We were told the chances of us getting pregnant again would be very very small" I thought an announcement was on its way.
