Worth the Wait.....

On April 10, 2010, our son Levi turned "2". I can remember the day he was born so well, almost like it was yesterday. I spent the day putting safety plugs into all of the outlets, even the one's that no child could reach, I was walking around the house and I all of a sudden got a horrible headache, so I naturally called the Dr.'s office, because it wasn't going away. I had talked to my mama earlier in the day and she told me that she was going to the tax office to have their taxes filled out, so if I could hold off labor that would be...AWESOME. I know, only my mama right? LOL So after I called the dr. I called Jason's mom so she could come and watch Millie Grace, just in case the dr. wanted to see me. Then I called J who immediately headed home, he just "knew" that this was the day. The dr. decided that he wanted me to go to the hospital just for observation, when I got there my blood pressure was through the roof, normally my pressure is 104 over 65, this day it was in the 160's over the 90's so they start to help me along with my labor...I was admitted to the hospital and in a room at 5:45 dilated to 1cm...at 6:57, by the grace of GOD we welcomed into this world and into our family a 7lb. 13oz. 20 inch long...son, Levi Everett Barbee. I can remember his daddy crying tears of joy and I was saying "he looks just like Millie Grace", and the dr. was saying "can I get a towel he is peeing on me" LOL
I have no doubt in my mind that both of our children know how precious they are to me and their daddy, and one day I am sure we will get to the story of him having brothers in heaven, but right now it suffices to say to him, "Bones you were WELL WORTH the wait. We praise GOD for such an awesome little boy, and Mommy and Daddy Love You...HIGH AS THE SKY TO THE MOON AND BACK"
