These are all for my little man, the baby in the picture with me... Hope Y'all like!! "A boy or a girl" Published in Reflections A tiny, fluttering heart ~ Can be seen on the screen Tears fill my eyes As I see my baby ~ For the first tyme Still to small to tell A boy from a girl. A month later ~ The heartbeat is heard For the first tyme Again, tears fill my eyes As I hear my baby ~ For the first tyme Not much longer Till we know A Boy or a Girl? Harvey’s Birthday Written on December 6, 2003 Lying there on the couch, waiting For any sign that it’s coming. Getting anxious ~ I’m due today Suddenly ~ a twinge ~ nothing new Been having them for the past month Lying there, twinges getting closer Wondering if this is it I close my eyes and wait ~ For another twinge ~ there it is Out at the store ~ twinges are close Watch revealed every five minutes And lasting one and a half In the back of my mind ~ Thinking “My god, this is it.” At home, lying in the bathtub He tells me I gotta get out And that it’s coming soon A twinge hits, as he helps me out “Let’s get to the hospital” On the way, twinges getting close Only they’re not twinges now Pain in my lower back and belly At the hospital nurse says 3 cm She puts me on a monitor “Your contractions are 3 minutes apart, If you want, you can go for a walk, Just be back within an hour” Walked to the waiting area Twinges getting unbearable Squeezing my dad’s hand ‘til it ends Sitting there, wanting to cry Starting to feel hard pressure Mom and dad tell me to get back ~ To let the nurse check me again She looks up, smiles “Hun, you’re at eight” All I could say was “Oh my God” “Call the doctor, she’s getting close” As Dr Nathan walks in ~ The nurse tells me I’ve almost made it It’s too late for the epidural Whimpering at the thought of that The nurse reassures me greatly By telling me the hardest parts over The doctor looks up and smiles “I’m going to break your water” A huge gush of water ~ Followed by the urge to push Lying on my side, the pain seems gone Replace with the pushing reflex With two or three good pushes The head is out ~ and a hand The doctor grabs the hand and waves Saying “hello mommy ~ Just one more good push for me.” One last push and my baby’s here, They place it on my belly ~ It spreads its legs and … It’s a Boy!! Harvey Wayne Webber October second, Two thousand Three 11:49 P.M.Seven pounds 14.6 ounces Twenty Two Fast (But Long) Months November 8, 2004 Twenty-two months ago, that second pink line appeared Twenty-one months ago, I saw a beating heart on the screen Twenty months ago, I heard that tiny heart beating loudly Nineteen months ago, I felt a jolt in my belly, you kicked me Eighteen months ago, I saw a tiny hand clasp itself tightly Seventeen months ago, I realized life won’t be the same Sixteen months ago, we could see your movements Fifteen months ago, we were loving you more each day Fourteen months ago, we celebrated your upcoming arrival Thirteen months ago, you had us in wonder ~ waiting, waiting, waiting Twelve months ago, you gave me your first smile Eleven months ago, you had your first Christmas Ten months ago, you laughed in your sleep, and I cried Nine months ago, you laughed at almost anything Eight months ago, you sat up by yourself, and blew raspberries Seven months ago, you discovered movement… Six months ago, there was no stopping you Five months ago, you stood up all by yourself Four months ago, you took your first steps Three months ago, you finally got your first tooth Two months ago, those teeth just kept coming..... One month ago, we celebrated your first birthday. These are all for my little man, the baby in the picture with me... Hope Y'all like!! Have you ever heard that "No shirt, No shoes" rule? My question is...Why doesn't that rule include pants? |
