Happy 16th Birthday To My Oldest Son {Thoughts From Me}

December 28, 2016 by Dana

Today my oldest child turns 16.  Let me start by saying this Momma is in NO WAY ready for that.  My sweet BABY is almost a man.  I shudder just to think about it.

I can remember when he was a tiny baby, with brown curls and a cherub grin.  Everyone who saw him thought he was the prettiest baby boy and yes, some even asked if he was a girl.  I didn’t mind.  To me, he was the most beautiful baby ever.

The day he was born, he looked like a tiny little wailing alien.  He loved to be held and his Grandmother and Papa were always toting him around.  He was well-loved by us all.

He was my emergency c-section.  His delivery was a traumatic one.  The doctors almost lost us both.  I remember feeling the pain and feeling myself begin to float as they prepped me for his delivery.  I was put to sleep and when I awoke it was all over.

The first thing I saw of my newborn boy was a photograph.  I wasn’t able to get out of bed and he wasn’t able to come see Mommy for 6 long hours.  His tiny body had suffered so much stress that he had to go into the warmer and be monitored right away.  I remember just being thankful he was alive and well.

The first time I held him, I was in LOVE.  He was the sweetest little thing.  He loved to nuzzle and he refused to sleep alone.  I don’t think he slept one time in his crib.

Isn’t funny how I can remember that period of time like it was yesterday?  Time passes so quickly.  Soon that little baby is going become a man.  Time is too short.

I’ve watched him grow every day.  I chose to homeschool him because I couldn’t bare to pass these moments that God blessed me with to someone else.  Selfishly, I wanted to keep these years all to myself and I am so glad that I have.  These memories will last us both for a lifetime.

This young man who has blessed me these past 16 years is like no other.  I used to wonder why I had a son first and not a daughter but now I know.  He’s been my rock, my supporter, my strength through so many things.  He’s quiet and a true peacemaker.

I honestly could not have made it through these past 16 years without this wonderful young man by my side.  He’s helped me with his sisters, our home, keep up with everything and just been a friend and a loving son to me all the way.  I tell him all the time that one day he’s going to make some girl a wonderful husband.  A lucky one she will be and yes, I plan to let her know that!

So here is to my soon-to-be 16 year old.  May we continue to enjoy the short time we have left together and many years afterwards.  I love you my son – more than you can ever know and I thank God every day for the blessing you have been to my life.

Fascinating Similarities! {Thoughts From Me}

December 16, 2013 by Dana

Winston at age 1 in 2001 and Jackson at age 1 in 2013
Similar nose, ears, hands, chins, mouths and even expressions!
I was looking through pics tonight and came to realize just how much all my babies look alike.  I find it fascinating that my oldest at 13 has so many similarities to his baby brother who is now a year old.  The girls also have a lot of resemblance to each other and to the boys as well.  Warms a Momma’s heart to have such beautiful children!
