Two years ago today Hunter was born. It was a very difficult year for me and his birth was no exception. There were a lot of external variables at work that did not help with the general chaos and emotions that come when delivering a baby. As a result the entire affair was less than ideal and something that I am trying very hard to overcome on a psychological level. Luckily for me I have a truly amazing family who was able to come to my rescue!
So, on this April 25th I would really like to thank my family. Especially my Mom and my Aunt Julie. My Mom was exhausted after having driven from upstate New York to Northern Virginia for what was initially supposed to be a one week visit, but turned into two. She then drove back to New York. I needed a great deal of help, so I called my Aunt Julie and asked her if she could make the drive from NY to my home. Without hesitation, she told me absolutely! My Mother was not in a good state because she knew how bad off I was. (I was huge and probably should have given birth two or three weeks before I did!) She decided to make the trip back to Virginia with her sister after driving MY sister back home the day before. My sister had already missed a bunch of school because of the extended trip.
I went into labor the next day and they were both truly amazing. So thank you Mommy and Aunt Julie. I love you both so much.
I also want to thank my sister-in-law Britten for taking care of all the stuff that needed to be taken care of while Garrick and I were on bed rest. I know it wasn't easy.
Kerrie, thanks for watching little Trent and helping out with Icesis.
To my step-Dad, Jim. Thank you for letting my have your wife on your birthday. I know you missed her.
Thank you to my Joy Troupe family. The moral support was so great!
Lastly, but not leastly, thank you Garrick. Your love and support mean more to me than you know. You're the best.
Happy Birthday Hunter! My big/little man. You truly are a gift and I love you!
