My 1st born "baby" is 10! Double digits, the big 1-0 today! It really feels like just yesterday that I had him(all the mommies out there know just what I'm talking about.) I am already in tears writing this post because my boy is so special that it overwhelms me put into words how I feel about him.

So in brief his birth story:

I had a complicated pregnancy starting in my 6th month. It was discovered by my 7th month appointment that I had preclampsia. By month 8 I was on bed rest, (which I had no idea how to do), needless to say I didn't follow the doc's orders. So at 32weeks I was being seen twice a week for non-stress test. On Nov. 5th I went in for a routine non-stress test, only for the nurse to find NO amniotic fluid. They immediately sent me to Labor & Delivery, where they tried to induce, but my son was under too much stress, thus I gave birth to my boy November 6th, 2002 @ 10:06am.

My boy has been a joy to care for. His happy-go-lucky, charming, out-going personality has always been his character traits. Since he was a baby he would babble to people, and now he can hold intelligent conversations with people.He uses his out- going personality to glorify God. He loves to outreach and tell people about Jesus. He is confident about who he is. He is considerate, and always thinks of others before himself. He always gives his first sip or last bite to me,(one of the perks of being his mom).He is tough ,yet gentle.He is absolutely hilarious, sometimes the things his says and does sends me laughing for days.Gives me complements at the most unexpected but appreciated times. He is a good brother, he actually prayed for a sister.

Physically he is strong and stocky. He has huge feet and hands as big as mine. He loves to exercise, and is doing great in football, but his 1st love is baseball. He is extremely handsome(my opinion) with a baby face to melt his mothers heart whenever in trouble( which truthfully is not often). And a smile to light up a room.


So yes! I am bragging all over my baby because HE is that awesome to me! From my pregnancy to now I have always known God had a plan for my son. Since the day I found out I was pregnant I prayed for specific characteristics, and they  ALL can be found in him. God was good to me when he gave me Kaleo. So today I celebrate all 10years of my precious boy's life , who loves me more than I deserve. Happy Birthday Kaleo !!!!
