My baby is 6!


I am so thankful to have such a wonderful son! He has truly been my brightness of hope! He was born on a rainy day in October. I was so ready to have him! I was sick my entire 9 months. I even had a pick line in my arm for anti-nausea medication and steroids to keep us both alive. The week before he was born I kept feeling really sick. I went to the hospital three times and they sent me home each time. Finally, my dad gave me a blessing, and I took my temperature. It was 103! I called John home from work and went into the hospital. Dr. Jones immediately broke my water and put me on antibiotics. I was in labor the entire night. No sleep. Finally at 9am Dr Jones came into my room and told us that if I couldn't progress in the next few minutes I would have to C-section. I was scared to death to have a c-section and thank goodness I did progress because he was born at 9:36 just as the Music and the Spoken Word was starting.
I was so relieved.

Jaxon was born with an amazing personality. He is very smart, and funny. He is a little spoiled (ok maybe a lot), but is so giving and kind. When I am feeling sad, sick, or just tired he will come up and throw his arms around me and say "mom, your the most beautiful girl in the world!" He is considerate of others (for the most part), and is the first to see when something isn't being done correctly, or when someone is choosing the wrong. We love you Jaxon!
Happy Birthday!

Wow Angie, I remember just after you had him and you came into the AF Smiths and talked to me when I was still pregnant with Konner. That seems SO long ago and my baby is 5. Hehee. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAXON!!

Awwww, that picture is so adorable! It's crazy that he's already six years old. He has been 3 in my mind since we met at the RC. Are you sure he's six now? Hehe. Anyway, it's been a while. We knew we wouldn't get together every month...or even every other month didn't we? We should plan something again. I REALLY enjoyed our last one.
