As I sit and write this - at 1:12 am (Aaron's on call again), exactly 7 years ago, I was being sewn up, irritated that I didn't get a good look at my son before they put him into the bassinet and cleaned him up. Aaron was a mess - terrified that I had to have surgery, and thrilled to see his beautiful new boy. He got a C in Calculus that semester (which he got questioned about in med school interviews) because he stayed with me all week. We watched the Opening Ceremonies of the SLC Winter Olympics as we were leaving the hospital. I digress.
Ben is 7 today!
I have made the cake for his birthday party later tonight, and the cupcakes for his class today.
We are having a "Ben 10: Alien Force" party - and of course, there is no licenced party supplies for a Ben 10 party. So I am forced to be creative. Oy. All for the love of an amazingly talented, creative, a little spacey, bright kid who brings me joy every day since that day 7 years ago.
Happy Birthday Budda! Your mom loves you!
As I'm typing this, "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney is playing. *tears*
