Bo's ELEVEN

Happy Birthday to my little man.
He has turned 11! Here goes the next 10 years. I know they will probably be much more difficult than the first 10 - but if he is anything like he is now, he will make us soooo proud!

I remember the day Bo was born very well! July 18th, 1997 @ approx. 1100. I went in the day before for an NST and had no amniotic fluid left (my fluid level was 2). I was induced with 2 doses of prostin and Pitocin for about 24 hours. Bo's heart tones were not looking as good as they should have. Dr. Gamette then found that I had a prolapsed cord and rushed me back for a c/section. All was well. He was 6 lbs 7 oz and 19 1/2". Within hours he was holding his head up by himself and his arms and legs were moving constantly (he get's that from his dad). I remember how beautiful his eyes were and what a proud father Shaun was. I had to remind Shaun that I was the one who just went through hell and it was my turn to hold him.

He was full of energy when he was younger and we have had to keep him very entertained. He loves a challenge and is not afraid of anything. He is everything I could ever want in a SON! He is such a good example to his sister and such a huge help to me. He is my very BEST FRIEND! We talk about everything and I hope it always stays that way.

We love you!
