Colleen Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) Six years ago and change some of you supported me through the last weeks of a challenging pregnancy. (Even more challenging than the others, and that's saying a lot!) You encouraged me when I was home alone. You offered prayers and advice when I learned that Kai was losing blood into my system, and as I went for daily blood draws. You cheered me when I hit a wall and just wanted to be done. And then, suddenly, I was done! And you celebrated with me when Kai Soren was delivered ~ a month early and still 8 pounds.:D Six years ago?! How teary I get when I consider the fact that my baby is growing up so quickly. But what a blessing he is ~ and what a blessing it was to share that time with the people here at the hive mind. Thanks and have a great day, all! P.S. I'm officially on page 2 now, proving that my time here has indeed diminished!

Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I remember that. Hans went to Switzerland with the boys around that time, didn't he? I can't believe Kai was 8 pounds a month early! Happy birthday, Kai!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Thanks for celebrating with me! And thanks to those of you who said you miss me. I miss you, too. Alas, what "they" said about having more free time, the older your children get, is proving to be a cruel lie...;):D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyNellen Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Oh I do remember that. It does not seem at all like 6 years ago! Happy birthday to your little man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peela Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi Colleen.....I mark my time on these boards by the fact that I joined when you were in the middle of your pregnancy with Kai. The boards were all new to me back then and I remember you well- I remember that it was a difficult pregnancy and I remember you got lots of support here. They do grow up, don't they? It all passes so quickly and then you realise even parenting is just a phase. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Happy birthday to Kai! My baby turned 6 last month, it's so sad. Six seems smaller than it used to. I just poked around your blog. Love the sleeping in the car story. That's how you make family memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
