happy 6th birthday adin!

6 years ago we went to the chambersburg hospital at 6pm on a sunday to be induced with our first child. we had been to church, came home to pack up, and headed in with our bags packed and birth plan in hand. that evening became night, that night became day, that day became evening...and still no baby. that's when the fireworks started and my "plan" went out the window. adin was in distress and we had to move things along quickly...our doctor grabbed a surgeon, lots of people came in and out, i was prepped and was rolling in to surgery before i knew what was happening. this didn't follow MY plan, but after the shock of it all, i was more than happy when they held up my healthy little baby boy. he was 7 lb 11 oz, and perfect in every way...all was ok with the world when i saw him. there is nothing that can compare to that first child and all of the feelings that go along with that time in your life. i have equally enjoyed toby and maisy...but everything is so new the first time. adin was a beautiful baby and was so good for us. i felt no need to sleep because i was happy to just look at him. he nursed well, he slept when he should, he looked at me with those big eyes...he was and is truely a blessing. i have often joked that he never cried the first year...because i never put him down! and now, 6 years have gone by?! he is a kindergartner, a scientist, a solver, a perfectionist, a friendly boy. he teaches me so much, he makes me laugh, and he makes me proud.
he has been a great big brother twice and loves his best buddy toby and his little lady mai. no one ever tells you how much love your heart can hold when you are pregnant...but, i don't know if they could ever put it into words. i am so blessed. happy birthday adin!
