My son Austin turned 7 today…hard to believe! I remember when they laid him in my arms for the first time that stormy Saturday evening in 2002. My eyes were filled with tears and my heart overflowed with unconditional love! He was the sweetest thing that I had ever known and he still is…sometimes. : )
Isn’t it funny the little details that we recall? I clearly remember telling that mean nurse that I would push as much as she needed me too but that she better get that TV on channel 3 because the season finale of Big Brother was on that night and I wasn’t about to miss it! That nurse changed her attitude almost immediately! She said that she had never seen a woman in labor who was so concerned with a television program. In between pushes I filled her in on who was who and who was backstabbing who. Ha! Ha! It really was funny. And Lord knows that I had plenty of time to talk in between pushes because I pushed for two and a half hours. And then, my baby, Austin John McCarthy was in his Momma’s arms. Pure love.
We took a quick trip to Wild Adventures and Splash Island for his birthday this past weekend. He was so excited and thankful for such a fun getaway. He was completely in awe of the hotel “credit card” a.k.a the room key. He had it in his wallet the entire time. It is amazing what makes kids tick. You can probably tell that we don’t get away that much. Here are a couple of shots of my handsome guy and his beautiful brown eyes. Momma loves you son…to infinity and back!
Very funny : ) Glad ya'll had a good time!
Dawn, I love that second pic!! I had to LOL at your directions to the nurse. I bet she was surprised!!!
