1 year ago today

As I am reflected on what happen a year ago today my heart is full of Joy and Love for a little man that I don't know what we would do without him.

Jameson is 1 Today.
 We came so far from where he started!
The day he was born.

10 days old
I am going to reflect on the story of his birth.
I had been in labor for what seemed like days. I was dilated to a 4 and was thinking he would come any day.
When I woke up on May 10 he was not moving but I didn't think anything of it at the time. We decided to go walk the mall and see if we could get labor started more. When arriving at the mall it was starting to hit me that I had not felt him move all morning. We decided to walk around, get some orange Juice and eat lunch to see if anything would get him to move. After a couple of hours of not feeling him move we decided to go to the hospital.I had Tyler and Jay give me a blessing so I would be able to get through whatever was going to happen. When we arrived they put us in a room and I got undressed and we waited for a nurse to come in and get us hooked to the computers. That seemed like a hour wait cause I didn't know if he was still alive or not at that time. After they hooked me up and we heard a heart beat I have never felt so much relief, he was still not moving but he was still alive. After being at the hospital for a hour we were being prepped for a emergency c-section. They had him out so fast and he had stopped breathing and he was white as a ghost. The amazing doctors and nurses were able to get him breathing let me kiss his head and rushed him up stairs to the NICU to get him a blood transfusion. I had to get sewn up and to recovery and I had to wait to see my little man. It was about 3 or so hours before I got to see him again and see he was ok and would need a lot of prays but I knew he would be ok. I had a hard recovery but pushed to walk and be up and going so I could go and see Jameson. He was given two blood transfusions and began breathing on his own. When you give babies blood it can cause brain damage so he was put on cold therapy. Which means they lowed his temp and keep him there for three days and than slowly began to warm him back up. Being on cold therapy meant we could not hold him or touch him other than his hands and feet. This was one of the hardest things for me. It was not until he was 5 days old that I got to hold him for the first time.

He has now overcome everything they said he would have and is healthy and so happy.
He is happy most of the time and loves his sister more than anything. The other days he was crying and would not stop and I figured out he was upset because Ashley was watching a movie in my room and he wanted her to play with him. Once she did he was happy again. I am so glad and thankful that we have our little boy with us today and we can enjoy his sweet smile and funny personality.

We are having a big B-day party in farmington for him and I will post pictures!

I remember feeling like I needed to pray for you that day. What a great story of how the Lord watches out for his babies.
