Aidan's 4 today...and I am at a loss for words. I cannot even express the way he has changed our lives...in such a sweet and amazing way! And, I can't believe it's been 4 years already...I remember his birthday in great detail as if it were yesterday...the feeling I had when I went to bed the night before, waking RJ up around midnight to tell him I thought I was in labor, taking our time preparing to go to the hospital, regretting taking our time preparing to go to the hospital, throwing up in the trash can because the pain was so great, RJ having to hold that trash can and not getting sick himself (that is a great accomplishment for him)...I even remember him making a joke during the whole ordeal...calling our parents in the middle of the night to tell them we were on our way to the hospital, getting the epidural and telling RJ I was scared, the doctor telling me I couldn't move while he was inserting the epidural needle (even if I had a contraction), the nurse telling us to get some rest before it was time to push and the doctor coming in a few minutes later to check me and say it's time to push, our little guy arriving about 10 minutes after that, and I remember every family member and friend that came to visit. I could go on and on. It was such a great day...we were blessed with one of the sweetest little boys ever...and he is growing up to be a wonderful big boy as well. Don't get me wrong...he tests us to the end of our nerves sometimes, but he is a good kid. We have been and are so blessed by him every day. I am proud to be his mommy!
He had a big day today. He woke up at 5:30...very excited that it was his b-day. Grammy and Grampy picked him up from school today around lunch time and took him to Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch...they played a million games while they were there. Then, they brought him back to the house to open his presents from them and also Aunt Candy, Uncle Bob, and Lacey. He loved each of those gifts and was playing with them when I got home. When daddy got home, Aidan got to open a little something from us and he enjoyed playing with that the rest of the evening as well. Aunt Mari and Bella came over with Happy Meals. They got to play and eat, and then it was time for bed!
His big party is this Saturday...he is pumped about that! It's the first time we've invited friends, so it ought to be really fun! Here are a couple pics from the day...more to come of the party...
Happy Birthday to my little guy...I love you, Aidan!
