2009
To begin the year we had a wonderful blessing come into our lives. William Kale Henderson was born on January 24, 2009. He was born at 10:02am, weighing 9lbs 2oz and 21inches long. This was a wonderful birthday present for me, which is January 26th. Going into labor was a new and scary ordeal for me. First off I HATE needles. I have to say though I did really well. I also had to have a C-section so that was also a first...surgery! We both came through just fine though. While in the hospital I celebrated my 29th birthday and had some wonderful friends (Jill and Heather) bring my birthday to me in the hospital. They showed up with balloons, presents, and cake.
Then came all the challenges and mind boggling solutions a new born brings. Kale was having problems with is bowels and we went through lots to figure out what was wrong. The frights of his possible having to have surgery at 2 months old, to having to hold him down for a rectal x-ray, to him having a biopsy. Luckly it was nothing and he grew out of it.A lot of 09 was Kale's firsts. His first smile, first noises, rolling over, sitting up, crawling, first laugh, first foods, first words, all first Holidays, and first Bible. To top it all off the last day of 2009 he took his first 6 steps. We have lots of pictures of all of his firsts. I can't wait to continue his milestones in 2010.
That's pretty much our 2009...Kale. Everything else was everyday life. I look forward to this new year and hope that it brings many blessings our way. I already have lots of new adventures and resolutions in mind.
May 11th he was dedicated to the church and Will and I vowed to raise him with loving and open arms, and teaching him about our Lord.
Found my way over from Mandy's... Loved learning the background on Kale! Your blog is terrific!!!!
