Five years ago today at 5:00am my sweet baby was pushing into my ribs so hard. I tried to switch sides in bed that didn't work, I went to the bathroom that didn't work. So I laid down and prayed, Dear Jesus if I'm in labor please just let my water break. And at that exact second, it did! Just enough for me to know that is what it was. My sister was asleep in the basement so I told her it was time to go. Then I called Dana in Kuwait to tell him the news. I said "I'm going to the hospital." He replied "Why" he must have forgotten we were about to have a baby! Sobbing I said "My water broke" Ever the supportive husband always putting me first he said to me "don't worry about me I'll be fine" Duh! I wasn't so worried about him that day! I had a wonderful labor and delivery! I was surrounded by pictures of Dana and had a lot of family there for support. I told my Dr. that I had to have the baby by 6:00 because Dana was leaving Kuwait and I wanted to be able to call him and tell him he was a daddy. We made it! at 5:20 Carson made his entrance into the world! I called his daddy and he was able to hear his first cries!
Fast forward to today,
"Mommy, do I sound different?"
"I think so, why do you think that is? maybe because you are 5?"
"Yeah, maybe now I sound like my dad!"
Carson really is such a sweet little guy. He challenges me, makes me laugh and wonder how he got so smart daily!
I love you baby boy! Happy Birthday! I can't believe you are already 5!

As I recall, you told us we couldn't tell anyone about Carson, until you had a chance to tell his daddy, so Dana wouldn't be the last to know. So we were all hoping C. would come before D. had to leave Kuwait, cuz how could we keep that secret?! That was a wonderful, and memorable day for our family. Carson is the only little boy in our side of the family, and he amazes me, having only been around girls. He is definitely all boy, but has his tender side, too. I thank the Lord for him daily!
What a sweet story and I can't imagine going through that without my husband there. What a strong and courageous woman you are! Happy Belated Birthday Carson! Hope your day was wonderful!
Happy Birthday Carson!!
