So, my baby, my first born, my first bundle of joy turned 13 yesterday!!!!!! God do I feel old. Nicholas Vincent was born at 11:30 a.m. that joyous morning. I can remember being at my parents the night before having dinner. There was a beautiful full moon and my mom said something that was about to come true. She said babies are born when there is a full moon. I laughed if off and secretly thought to myself, wouldn't it be funny if it were tonight? Afterall, I was one day past my due date of June 19th. I was feeling quite large and was a bit scare of what was to come. We went home and I waddled into bed. At exactly 12:07 a.m. I felt it, the first of many contractions that were to come! I do not remember the drive to the hospital because I was in the most excruciating pain that no man could ever prepare you for! Later that morning, I witnessed the most amazing thing any woman could experience....the birth of my first child. I can remember holding him and feeling the warmth of his skin against my cheek. I can remember the smell of my newborn baby. I can remember the sheer joy and excitement of becoming a mom. It is now 13 years later and I have a teenager who is the epitome of a teenager....complete with eye rolling attitude! He is a good boy who loves life. Nicholas has been a blessing and I am looking forward to watching my little boy turn into a man. I love you Nick!!!
