Happy Birthday Little Max!!!

I remember so vividly two years ago when Max was born. The days that my children were born are two of the happiest and most memorable days of my life!! I remember the night before he was born spending time with Adeline, worried how she would adjust, driving to the hospital, my clothes, my excitement, my worries, the hospital, the nurses, everything so clear!! I was induced again the day before his due date. My stomach was huge, I was miserable! He was supposed to weigh about 7 to 8 pounds. I love my doctor, he is the best!I got an epidural right away, I have never felt a true contraction with either labor, I like it that way! I progressed quickly and only had to push for about 10 minutes and then he arrived. Little Max was not little, he was huge!!
My doctor, a family friend....was so funny. As soon as he saw Max`s head, he said well, he looks just like Mr. Ferrell! It was so true! The nurses kept saying oh my gosh he is so big! The first time I saw him I just couldn't get over how big he was, not just his size, but his hands , head and feet were so big. I knew he was going to be big, because he felt big inside of me and I was a big baby and so was Max. Boys are so different than girls when they born. Girls have these tiny features. He had the exact big eyes and features like Adeline. He was so sweet!! Such a blessing!! I was so thankful he was a healthy big baby!!
