Happy Birthday, Jonathan!! You are the best second son that a mom could ever have!! It seems like yesterday you were rushing to get here early. Not much but sixteen days early. The rushing part was the two hour labor. You were scheduled to be born by C-section the following week but you chose your own day. You were born naturally 38 minutes after we arrived at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City. I got to hold you just a few minutes and then they rushed you upstairs for observation. You were very gray and grunting. They said the grunts were because you were struggling to breath. By midnight you were down in neonatal intensive care and they said that you were going to be there for three months. You showed them that you were a fighter which they said was unusual for a boy. You got to come home in 16 days after being on the respirator, a feeding tube and many other tubes. There was even an IV in your head at one time. I felt blessed then and still do! LOVE YOU and HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Psalm 127:4-5
New International Version (NIV)
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.
