After dilating to 3cm, having my epidural, Hayden's heart rate dropping to around 30 and a C-section that produced a baby who had the cord wrapped around his neck, my little Hayden was born at 12:26 in the afternoon.
That little guy came into our home and has changed us forever. Such a spirit, he has. My heart just fills with pride when I think that the Lord gave us the perfect kid...perfect kid, for us, that is. Times are not always easy and I know that we are bound to go through many struggles but I know that the Lord knew exactly what he was doing when he gave us Hayden. I often tell Hayden, "Out of all the little boys on the earth, God knew I needed you." I know he doesn't understand and I don't even understand sometimes, but I thank God often for the children he has blessed me with. My life would be quiet, clean and orderly without them...and I am not much for order.
So, because birthdays are always special and I think Hayden is too...
Happy Birthday Hayden! We love you bunches!

Well Angela, that one there almost brought tears to my eyes, but I held 'em in, as all big girls should do when reading emotional blogs.
I am about to cry. That is really, really sweet. I had almost forgotten that I was in the hospital when you guys came in - and it was high blood pressure. I remember the next day, when you were in labor, I was supposed to be staying in my bed, but Michael kept leaving to check on your progress. I was so jealous because I wanted to get out of my room and celebrate with you guys. That was such a wonderful experience, and I'm so glad you wrote about it. Happy Birthday, Hayden!!
I love hearing birth stories! Everyone's is so different. It's weird that I didn't even know you back then.
I asked Sean when I picked him up after chuch if he told Haden happy birthday. He said, "I tried, but all the other kids were talking, so I got confused."
Oh, I forgot to tell you all what I was doing when Ang had Hayden...and Eloise I know you're reading this. I show up all excited and supportive, its easy to show up to places when the only kid you have is in your belly :) Anyway, Angela and I didn't know eachother all that well, but I thought well enough to make it in the room without a glance...thats right, Eloise gave me a glance, as in, "I don't know you, and she's drugged up and about to be sliced open, I don't think I want you in here." <---Yep, that was the message I got. :) I was a bit prego and a little sensitive so I guess now that its out in the open its time to let it go...Eloise, I forgive you! lol :) Just kidding
