9 years ago today....at this time, I was in labor with our 6th child. Our previous 5 pregnancies had all been girls, so the odds were for us having a 6th. BUT, I still had that hope in the back of my head that THIS one could be HIM. I had a few mild contractions throughout the day, but nothing to speak of, and around 7:00 that evening the contractions started in a little stronger. He was born at home at 9:50 that night. Yes, I said HE! My mother was able to attend this birth and she was the first one to yell out, "it's a BOY!" We were all in tears! Even my midwife....who had "caught" 4 of my previous babies, was boohooing along with us. It was such a memorable occasion. Since then, we have had 2 more girls....{no more boys} I have told him, since he is our only boy, that he is my favorite boy in all the world, and he would tell me that I was his favorite mom in all the world. He is my little sweetheart and I can't thank God enough for blessing him into our lives! Happy Birthday Reb!
