Crazy Whaley

This is an old picture of my Buddy but the only one I had available at work where I am writing this post.  Yesterday was Nico’s 8th birthday.  I remember the day he was born.  Anny had been in labor for over 30 hours with Isa and we were scared that this delivery would be a repeat of the same thing.  Anny was having contractions but they had not been coming at regular intervals.  We had the idea to walk around trying to make the labor progress faster so I took anny to the Home Depot.  We walked around there and then headed to the mall.  We had been walking around the mall with Anny saying that her contractions were getting stronger and closer together.  The thing was that every time she had one, she would stop walking and make a face showing just a little discomfort.  She never seemed to be in real pain.  Finally she talked me into going to the hospital to check everything.  When we got there they told us that she was 8 centimeters dialated. The doctor said I think you are going to have a baby in the next couple hours!  About 45 minutes later Nicolas burst onto the scene.  He was daddy’s boy from day one.  When he cried and I held him he would calm down right away.  We were inseperable.  He has grown up so fast since that time but he is still my sweet loving boy.  Just like he was back then.  I love you Buddy Happy birthday.
