Happy 2nd Birthday

 Bryant turned 2 years old today. We celebrated with some ice cream and blowing out candles. On Sunday we are going to have a small family party and open gifts. This week the girls and I worked on teaching Bryant to sing Happy Birthday however it came out as "Happy Happy to me." We have laughed and laughed. I tried to video it but he refused only to sing it every time I turned the camera off. Typical 2 year old. My little peanut has turned in to a big boy. Maybe not size wise as he weighed 19lb 5oz yesterday but in every other aspect definitely a 2 year old. Lots of new behavior, communication and independence.

 Each year on his birthday I thank his biological mother for him. I thank her for choosing life and having Bryant when it may have been easy to choose another option. I admit I do not think of her often but I do think of her today and every year on the day of his birth. Bryant is forever my child and I am his mother. I believe a mother is determined by raising a child not just having a child. Mothers work hard to love, care for and nurture their children. This is a life long commitment in which you never give up on not just 9 months. That being said it does not mean I don't wonder about what happened 2 years ago today. What were the circumstances around his birth, who was there, what were the feelings etc. I do not even know the time of his birth. These small details will never be known and sometimes I wish they were for his sake or maybe selfishly mine. What I do know is God knows these circumstances and chose to place Bryant in our arms. He has entrusted us as his parents.

  Please say a prayer for Bryant on Thursday. He is going to have a procedure at the hospital to test the PH in his esophagus and the amount of reflux he has. It will not be fun. A 24 hour stay with a probe down his throat. The thought makes me so nervous. But this is the beginning of trying to figure out his GI issues and get his growth moving in the right direction. We appreciate your prayers as you all mean so much to us.

  Here is a video of my sweet boy today. Also some recent pictures from school I couldn't help but share.

  Happy Birthday Bryant. I love you with all my heart. Mommy
