Ode to Henry

Well, I didn't really have time to post an entry on Henry's birthday since I was expecting 20 people in my little apartment and had much to do. But anyway, here is my birthday post to my son

Oh my god, I'm crying. I had no idea how much surrounded Henry's birth. I just know of the happy child I've seen at Kat and Steve's. What a wonderful family you have! I'm so happy for you.

Thank you :) Yeah, Henry's entrance was dramatic, but it all worked out in the end. And even though I *totally* remember the pain, I wanna do it again someday!!! How nuts am I?

I was reading this aloud to the fam and had to stop because it was making me cry! Oh sweetie... What a time...

[donnahayward]

Awwwww, I didn't mean to make you cry (though I admit I got weepy writing it). I think once you have your own birth story to share, other people's birth stories hit you a little harder, you know?

Oh My God, this is the sweetest post ever. I am crying as well. Happy birthday to your wonderful, dear, beloved Henry. I am so happy for your happiness and wonderful family. Many *hearts* darling.

Thank you for the birthday wishes! And I'm glad things are going well with you and your little family - give that kitten a squeeze for me ... and your fiance, too ;)

The decision to have a child is to accept that your heart will forever walk about outside of your body...

Happy Birthday Henry
and wohoo to Emily& Erik
for year #1 survival in parenting ;)

p.s. i still remember seeing erik going thru the lobby at stmary's w/suitcase in tow...

Hah - I still remember Erik coming up to the room and saying, "You know, I think I just saw our neighbor Julie ... ?!?" Too funny. You totally had the heads up first on that day ;)

And thanks for the birthday wishes!
