I was giving birth to a 9lb, 7 ounce, 22 1/2 inch long
"Chunk O Loveee"....
"Chunk O Loveee"....
at Womack Army Medical Hospital in Fort Bragg,
North Carolina....
North Carolina....
I can't believe it's been 9 years, time is flying!
I was induced 3 weeks after my due date on Feb. 13th around 10:00am, ALONE, just about to turn 23, 3000 miles away from what was home a year 1/2 prior in CA. Jonathan's Dad was out in the "field" doing a training exercise while assigned to the 82nd Infantry Airborne Division. I didn't have a cell phone, the Army Hospital got a hold of his Unit & Eric arrived later that evening....phewwwwwwww!! I needed someone to SCREAM at ;)
We were surprised with our Baby Boy the following Night after a very Longgggg Labor....
Mr. Jonathan Quinn Haley, born at 6:30 pm on February 14th, 2001 & the Absolute Best Valentine a Woman could ever Receive, the gift of Motherhood!
Jonathan you are the LIGHT OF MY LIFE, my heart is so full of Love for you. God so appropriately gifted you to me on the Perfect "Lovey" Holiday! Your growing into a Fine Young Man, I could not be more proud of you!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jonathan! What a great kid!! And congrats to you, too! Isn't it amazing how fast the time flies? One minute you're looking into their eyes for the first time and the next thing you know they're almost as tall as you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you put together an amazing birthday celebration, too. Such a clever idea, indoor camping!! Maybe you should become a professional caterer and party planner :)
Hope you and your Valentine's are having a great weekend!!
