My prince Lance....turned 1 year old today. Just one year ago around 6:30am in the morning Brian was driving me and breaking every traffic law to get me to the hospital. Two nights prior I was having contractions each night, and each night I thought I would be going into labor but by 4/5am they would go away and I would start my day again! Then finally the third night, May 14, 2010 the contractions started again I remember thinking "ok God is this it, can I get this little guy out today please!" And Amen he was coming...I checked in to the hospital around 6:30am and Lance was born just after 9am. I was so exhausted especially after having contractions the last two nights and not sleeping much at all. There he was so precious and perfect in every way imaginable. I was so excited to meet him, as I was with all my children, but because I know he will be my last I tried to cherish those few minutes after birth a little bit more. There is nothing like the smell of a new baby and there is nothing like the touch of having your new baby skin to skin after carrying and nurturing the child for 9 months in your belly! I thank God for allowing me to carry all my children, and having good birthing experiences. What a blessing! So today we got to celebrate our precious little prince.
We just had family; Grandma and Grandpa Valletta, and Aunt Shari! Thank you guys for making it extra special. I made some homemade turkey burgers, grilled some fresh yellow corn and of course I made my special double fugge chocolate cake. For all the family that is far away we thought about you and wished you were with us; Grandma Christine, Grandma Marilyn, Uncle Kelly,Kenny and Greg; Aunt Nova, Katie, Colleen, Tonia and all the cousins, and friends. (Grandpa Howard we now you were watching:-)
I didn't take too many pics as I primarily did video but here is what I did get. Thank you for the gifts everyone he loved them all!
Lance loves playing with balloons so Daddy went out and got him 6 helium balloons. Here is in the kitchen.
Grandme Christine got Lance this cool ball that rolls on it's own, plays music and has little ribbons sticking out on it. Kaden liked it too as you can see.
Mommy giving him a bottle of Pedialyte; poor Lance has not been all himself the last week. Not sure if it's teething or if he got some kind of virus but he seemed better today.
