I prayed for this child. I have something called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and getting pregnant does not come easily. I took fertility treatments (not too invasive, thank goodness) and became pregnant after trying for 15 months. Fifteen long months of disappoint and one miscarriage in between. I still remember the day I found out I was pregnant with Kyle sooo vividly. I can still see myself jumping up and down in the bathroom saying over and over "there are 2 lines, there are 2 lines". My pregnancy with him was fairly uneventful until right up at the end I was induced due to high blood pressure. On July 7, 2002 our lives were forever changed. We had son. A SON. I said it over and over to make myself believe it. After all the heartbreak and fear that I would never become a mom, I had a son.
Oh how I love this boy. I think it is definitely true about about a mother's bond with her son. Kyle and I have a special relationship and we are so close. He is an amazing child. He is smart, funny, cute, and a lot like his dad and I mixed together. To me he is perfect, the child who made my dreams of a mother come true.
He has given us so much joy over these last ten years. He was the most well behaved toddler in the history of the world, no kidding. So good it was almost odd. He has been a good student in school, and when he was almost six he became the most amazing big brother. He loves Lyla so much and protects her so fiercely that it warms my heart to watch them. He loves all of his family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, everyone. They are clearly so importan to him. When he was 8 he got into a freezing cold pond with his Poppy and publicly professed his love for Jesus and got baptized. He has such a caring, loving heart. I look forward to watching him grow into a young man. I can't believe how quickly these 10 year have flown by. I wish time would slow down so he can be my little boy forever.
Happy 10th birthday Kyle! I love you more than you will ever know!
