Don't know how to get the picture to the right off..but I guess you can enjoy a pic of Kade and Kyle..haha!
Can't believe my baby boy is NINE!! Where did the past 9 years go?! And, yes I cried the morning of his birthday, he is growing up way too fast!!! I remember very vividly the day I found out I was pregnant with him. We had just been married for a little over a month and a half, wasn't feeling too hot, took 5 pregnancy tests all negative. Was on birth control, but I guess it helps if I followed the directions and took it like I was suppose to Ha!
I went to the doc for a regular checkup on said in passing, oh, I'm late. Every girl knows those 3 little words could change your life forever! I was sitting in the room all by myself, praying, please be negative, please be negative..not that I never wanted to have kids, but come on..we were NEW newlyweds..the nurse came in and said matter-of-factly..it's positive. Those 2 words echoed in my mind and I couldn't even think or say anything. She asked me..are you ok? Yes, I replied..are you happy?! Uh, yes?! Are you married? snap back to reality! YES, I'M MARRIED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LADY!! lol..I was a bundle of nerves, excited, scared, excited, anxious, excited..you get the point. I immediately went to Target..picked out a pair of girl and boy little booties. Drove to Kyle's work. Could barely walk up the stairs to his office, I was so nervous and excited! Put the shoes behind my back, walked up to him and pulled both shoes out from behind my back..all the color in his face left, he started shaking..TWINS?!!!! Ha..NO, I got these because we are preggers and I don't know what it is. We hugged and we were both shaking. Then came the time to tell people. How do I tell people that we're pregnant and I haven't even signed all the thank you notes yet from our wedding!
We told EVERYONE, and some people you could see it in their face..they were counting in their heads the months. I just wanted to laugh..it was a rough pregnancy from the start, very sick, we lived in a house that had no air or heat. The way we stayed warm at night was to use my blowdryer and put it under our comforter for a few minutes, then quickly put the comforter around us to keep warm! Great memories! ha!
I was so excited, happy that we were having a boy first! And, we had already had his named picked out..that's what you do when you're in college right?! haha..Keagen Gene. Fast forward to due date..I went in to be induced, got there and was already at 4cm..didn't know I was in labor, I thought this is awesome! I was SO nervous about having a baby, I mean, come on..I can't even handle getting a shot or my finger pricked, how was I going to have a baby! I was in labor maybe 8 hours, pushed for 2 hours, not fun. They had told me that week that I'd have a 7lb baby boy..uh try 9 lbs!!! He came out looking like a 3 month old, perfect skin, just perfect all around! Keagen has been an amazing boy, he is super smart (like his daddy) he is handsome (like his daddy) and funny (like me;0)). I couldn't have asked for a better more perfect first born. He loves his brother and sister, he looks out for them and will defend them!
A few lil things about him...we can't shave his head, he has eyebrows, but they are VERY blonde and noone can see them, so he looks like he has cancer. We did that one time and one time only, we got so many sympathetic looks and plus he hated it. He has a HUGE birthmark on his stomach, which I thought was dirt when he was a baby, but we call it his moo cow spots. He has so many freckles, I tell him you have a lot of angels that like kissing you..that's what I was always told..freckles are angel kisses! The boy doesn't have to study, and makes straight A's,he asks a million questions every day..literally..lol VERY athletic, he excells at everything he does and I hope and pray that he continues down that path.
He asked Jesus into his heart when he was 5 and he'll tell you exactly what and where he was when he got saved..I love it!
Thank you Keagen for these past 9 years, I am SO blessed and happy that God gave you to us! Keep doing what is right, and always know that mommy and daddy love you more than words!
