3 years ago this evening, I was completely exhausted after having worked hard on the meals all day. Turns out the couple joining us for supper completely forgot about our plans. I stared feeling like something was a little amiss right around 9:30.
3 years ago right now, I was in the triage area, breathing through contractions while the NBA playoffs were on the TV.
3 years ago at about 1:30 am, I got an epidural and giggled about not being able to feel my legs. And astonished the nurses when they realized I was just about completely dilated, when I was only at a 6 (10 is complete) before I got the epidural.
3 years ago at 2:14am Noah Reuben joined our family.
These past 3 years have gone by so fast. He is no longer our youngest. He has embraced his role as middle child. :) Destined for a childhood full of hand me downs, but also full of sibling love.
He is our clown. He is the one that gets when someone is teasing him. "You kidding me?" He already knows how to tease back. He has the best laugh. He loves his big brother and his little sister. He was the one that correctly guessed that his new sibling was going to be a little brother. He has light wavy hair, in contrast to Ohlen with his darker straight as an arrow hair.
12 am 5/5 - Officially Noah's birthday :)
He loves being outside. He loves digging in the dirt. He tells great stories. "And what happened!" Complete with hand gestures and often reenactments. If you look up "independent" in the dictionary, you may just find his picture.
We love you Noah! Happy Birthday little grizzly bear!! Good bye "terrible" twos, hello thermal detonating threes. :) (Yeah, I made that up that name for the threes in honor of Star Wars day...) (Dear Noah, sorry your mom is such a nerd.)
