Six years ago today, a very unique and beautiful little boy came into my life. Determined to be born on his due date, and causing quite a bit of scare. Me being in labor for nearly 14 hours, and part of that pushing for nearly 2 hours, my new first born baby came out very lethargic and not crying. The labor had put quite a bit of stress on him, so he was very exhausted. I was told not to worry, that he was fine and breathing without any problems, but little did I know that we would be spending the next 6 days in the hospital. The night he was born, he had a very mild seizure. Several tests were run, including a spinal tap on my one day old baby and another being an ultrasound on his head. The spinal tap showed blood in the spinal fluid, which is why they ordered the ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a very mild bleed inside the brain. They had seen this before, that it was very common, and often goes undetected. They said that it would absorb back into the brain, and he should be just fine, but they wanted to do more bloodwork to rule anything else out that might be more serious. Which is why we ultimately spent 6 days in the hospital waiting for blood tests that eventually came out normal.

Today, Christopher is an amazing little boy. He has such a good heart, and loves everybody so unconditionally. Although, his Autism has been a challenge for him, and us as well, we are still impressed at the progress he has made, and we are so proud of him. He amazes us everyday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER!!

MAMA & DADDY LOVE YOU!

Just looking back to when Steven and I first met, we used to have so much fun together. I met him in an Archeology Class that we were both attending, when we were in college at Mississippi State University. It was February 1994, and from the first time we met, we hardly went a day without spending it with each other. The university would have concerts and exhibits we enjoyed going to together, but the most fun I remember having, was going to the MSU Bulldog Basketball games. We would have a blast, and really neither one of us were huge basketball fans, but I guess when you don’t have the money to do anything else, a free basketball game can be just as fun. The MSU Bulldogs were a pretty great team that year, and then two years later they made it to the Final Four during the NCAA Tournament.  We were so proud of them.

Another thing we enjoyed doing together…eating. Probably why we both have gained so much weight over the last few years. We had so many favorite restaurants that we would love to go to. Barbeque at Little Dooey’s, Chicken Tenders and Fish Bowl Draft Beers at Oby’s, Club Sandwiches at the Bulldog Deli, and the infamous Fried Cheese at the Cotton District Grill, those things were huge and batter-fried. You’d probably have a heart attack just looking at them.

Oh well…those were the days. Atleast we have some great memories to tell the kids one day.
