HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY, OLIVER NEWTON!
I can't believe that you have been in our family for seven years already! Time has gone by so fast. You have been a joy and a delight in our family. You have a such a tender heart and you always want to do what's right. I love you so much!
It was fun the other night when you and I were talking about when you were born. I told you how you were my hardest labor and how I felt like you were never going to come out. The doctor had tried to induce me a week before you were due. I was really tired of being pregnant so I took the bait. We made all the arraignments for your older brothers to be taken care of, so we went to Green Bay and checked into the hospital. They started me on pitocin (the medicine which gets mommy's body ready for they baby to come out). I was having labor pains all day and night but my body was not cooperating. You just weren't ready to be born! The next day came and I knew that you were not going to be born that day either. I was so sad to leave the hospital without you in my arms.
The next couple of weeks we tried again. My body was a bit more ready than before but I still needed the help of the medicine to get me going. My body has a hard time having a baby on it's own. I always have to have medicine to help me get the baby out. So they hooked me all up and we waited and waited. It seemed like the time before. Nothing was happening again. The next day came and I was getting so frustrated and sad. I thought I'd never get to see you! After lunch on that second day, I was sitting on a chair and Mama was sitting by my feet. (Your dad was getting a cat-nap in the waiting room.) All of a sudden I had a special and warm feeling come over me. I saw something in my mind and knew that you were with your heavenly family and that you were ready to come to this earth finally. Within minutes my labor pains came on with a vengeance and I delivered you within the hour. I hardly had any time to get the necessary pain killers. But that's OK. Here you were! A perfectly beautiful baby boy!
Oliver, we love you and are so glad you're a part of our family!!!
