When I was pregnant, people would ask me, "do you know how being a mom is going to change you"? I would answer back, "I'll love him just as much as I love the dogs"(which is alot), but now I'm a momma and I think to myself, "what were you thinking"!?! This is a love beyond my comprehension!
Tuesday morning, April 22, 2008 at 5:00a.m. I woke to feel a little uneasy. Contractions, again! I called Dr. Green and he said to head up to Labor and Delivery to get on the fetal monitor. Sure enough, contractions! Wait a while...and a little bit longer. The nurse comes in and announces "Dr. Green says he's going to induce you today"! WHAT!?!?!
Into a L&D room and the petocin starts and we began calling our families. Family starts arriving around 3:30p.m. The room suddenly is very crowded with people. I CAN'T take it! These people have to go...I'm in labor! It's around 8:00p.m. it's just Daddy, Anthony, Kelly and me and we are laughing about who knows what? Dr. Green rushes in and says that he can't watch this baby's heart rate decel anymore and we are going into emergency c-section! WHAT??!!! I'm thinking, "but my momma is at supper with Adam's parents and this is not supposed to go like this"... Daddy gets dressed in scrubs and into surgery we flew. As they were wheeling me down to surgery, I see my momma, who looks terrified and I start to cry and it hits me. While they prep me, I'm alone, and I start to pray that you will be ok. Please GOD!
8:39p.m. you are delivered and I hear you cry, OH that sweet cry! GOD is so good! You are having some trouble breathing, wet lungs. They take you to NICU to evaluate. You are jaundiced and have short, shallow breaths, but are fine! I don't get to see you until the next morning. I didn't sleep but 45 minutes, I was waiting to see you.
You are BEAUTIFUL, tiny and perfect in every way! From the first moment that I saw you, I knew I was meant to be your Momma and I would love you always!You are the best blessing that God has blessed us with! Thank you GOD! Hallelujah!

To Anderson:
You have grown so much over the past year, and not just in size, but in personality and in character. You can do so many things. Looking at you when you were a tiny baby, I never envisioned you growing up, I guess I thought you would be a baby forever. You are the BEST blessing that GOD has blessed your Momma and Daddy with in this lifetime. I truly mean that! In my eyes, you hang the moon! You are the love of our lives and our love for you is like GOD's love, unfaltering-always! I can't wait to see you grow, explore and learn about the world around you.
I love you, my love
Your Momma
I
