Happy Birthday Baby!

My toddler is 3 years old today! Happy birthday to Parker Maclain my beautiful boy. 3 years ago today on Friday the 13th he arrived via natural childbirth and only 2 hours of labor. He was nine pounds, 6 ounces. He breastfed immediately and with gusto. He didn’t even mind sharing with his older sister. He was a chubby little thing who wanted to sleep in his own bed right from the beginning.

Of course our babymoon ended to soon as only 6 months later I would be diagnosed with cancer and he would be rudely ripped away from me and mama’s milk. He came through it like a champ though. I think it may have even been harder on me. He is now my little buddy, my shadow, a momma’s boy who climbs into bed with me each morning and plants a big kiss on my cheek. Happy birthday baby! You are loved more than you could ever know.

    To me your children’s birthdays are mom’s special days also. I love celebrating it by remembering their own unique birth story and the moment you first hold them.

    “Happy Birthday Parker, this is your mom’s special day too:)”
