6 years ago, on December 23rd, you entered our lives! You were not expected for another 3 weeks!!! Travis had already left for work and I had a doctors appointment. I got up early because I could not sleep for this one constant pain I had. I soon discovered I had lost my plug and I knew you would be here soon. I called Travis to tell him he needed to finish work soon because he was going to meet his son today. I called Carolyn to babysit, Memaw to get on the road and Grandma to take me to the doctor. I started having contractions on the way to the doctor and made Grandma a nervous wreck! I think she thought she was going to have to deliver a baby!
The doctor checked me and said she could give me something to stop my contractions but I would probably be back that night in full labor. So she sent me over to the hospital after telling us all the risks of having a white baby boy early. The hospital was crazy busy! Lots of doctors were inducing to beat Christmas. The nurses were in bad moods. I had one nurse that was so rude that I told Travis to get rid of her or I was leaving. He agreed and told the head nurse.
My doctor showed up around 4:00 to check on me and if she would have gone far she would have missed delivering you. You were coming fast!!!!! She delivered you at 4:23. She was not fully dressed, I was not fully draped and there was no time to get the video camera. I could not even let Travis go get Grandma to let her watch you be born.
It was a whirlwind!!!! But now that I know you, it was totally your personality! You do not want to be left out of anything. Especially Christmas! You have such a love for it and everything about it. But what I love most, is your giving nature that goes along with it. This year you have collected stuff around the house and wrapped us all a present because you want to give to us. Last year you wanted to be Santa when you grow up so that you can give gifts to all the kids in the world.
That makes you so special!!! Please do not ever lose that character trait. It is one of the best you can ever have. You are my precious little man and I love you from your "Silent Midnight" song to your Christmas decorating and redecorating and placing baby Jesus under the Christmas tree. Keep your love for Christmas and you will always have a love for mankind.
I love you and you will always be my Grammy!

Happy Birthday Grammers!!! I love you very much!! Your mom says that your early birth is so much like your personality in that you want to be a part of everything. If that is the case, then Sarah's would be that no one is ever going to rush her, even being born. Your mom & I talked so much the first year you and Sarah were born and it was such a special time for us. Hope you had a wonderful day. Love you, Kimmy (and Sarah and Dewey)!!! :)
