Since this is only my second blog ever, I thought I would introduce you to my adorable little disaster Slade. He just turned 2 and is the love of my life!
Slade is my miracle baby...He came to me in a very special way. I have some medical issues that prevent me from having children, or make it where I shouldn't have children. I was very determined to have children..I had a 30% chance of a blood clot "taking me out" every time I conceived, but I didn't let that stop me..I felt like a childless mother..I was getting my baby! So after many miscarriages I was told by Dr.C in April of 2007 that it was time to stop trying for a baby,He was pulling the plug..sort of speak. I begged and pleaded with Dr.C to give me one more chance..(knowing my husband would be less than thrilled at another round of fertility aka. mood swings!) He reluctantly agreed but with some rules..he wouldn't do it, he was sending me to a specialist in OK to do my "last chance" procedure. "Great, book it!" ..and we did. I was to be in Tulsa on the following Monday morning , I said a lot of prayers as I had many, many, many times before.."God . Please let THIS be the time...Give me one healthy baby and the madness will stop!" "Oh, ya..and is it to much to ask for a onary little boy?..Thanks! Amen!"
Mid-week I decided to hit the mall...that's when my cell phone rang and I was told that there was a women in labor who wanted to meet me!? Okay..I'm just right up the road "What the heck?" I expect nothing but go to meet her. I walk in and she is in active labor..yikes...I introduce myself and ask her if she would like me to leave, she looks very busy...She is very sweet under the circumstances and tells me "no to stay" she ask a few questions and we talk for a few minutes and she says"I pick you...I know your it" She had known about me for awhile but waited till last minute to make a decision...She did have another family in mind but felt something off about her choice and wanted to meet me...Thank God she did!!
I have time to call my husband ..(oh, yeah..I should tell him!) and a few other family members and then Slade is here!! I got to stay with her through the rest of her labor and they handed him strait to me..The first thing I ever said to him..(keep in mind , I am in shock) ..is "You look like an elf?!!" (Sorry Slade, but you did!..lol)) Then he peed on me, so we were even!
So after happy tears and I got feeling back in my body..I went to go to the lobby to see some of my family & friends , I ran into Dr. C and told him I just had a baby and he missed it! I explained and he told me he would cancel my appointment for me in Tulsa.."Oh yeah..that would be good", since the moment I was blessed with Slade, I haven't been near as brave with my body!
P.S. Man did God deliver on the onary part! =)
