• Jul. 16, 2008 - On this day in history . . .
I was crashed out in a hospital room as swollen as a pufferfish with full blown eclampsia 3 weeks before my due date. My blood pressure kept skyrocketing and I was a bit foggy about all that was happening. Nothing went quite like planned and yet there were blessings. I saw what a blessing it was to have a husband who would make good decisions for me when I was out of it and what a blessing it was to have a doctor who I knew was caring for me the way he'd want his own wife to be treated. I still remember feeling "safe" even when I was very out of my element with a very medical birth.
Hours later, Jon Carter made his appearance and melted all of our hearts. Weighing in at 8 lbs., he was only 3 ounces less than his big brothers were at delivery. He had Carter Kid written all over him. He was my first sling baby and I treasured every moment of getting to hold him close to me. I knew the whole time that I was pregnant with him that he was a snuggler and that has definitely proven to be true.
Even as an official seven year old today, you can often find him coming into our bed in the wee hours of the morning or joining me in my recliner "just to sit together" for a while as we start the day.
Hope you all are having a wonderful week!
