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.
What an adorable chubby baby he was and an adorable kid now. I can’t even imagine how hard that had to of been on you to have that sweet experience taken away from you both so soon.

Aw, happy birthday! My baby will be three next month!
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:)”
