Happy Birthday, Boog!

All of my kids’ birthdays are approximately two months apart from one another. So, it’s time for another happy birthday to one of my little offspring. Today, it’s my Boog.

She is 19 today! Ugh… that affirms my I’m-getting-so-old feeling. How can I be young AND have a 19-year-old child?

She has grown up so much over the past 19 years. I can still remember her being born… at 9 pounds, 11 ounces! Ouch. I still remember that pain, too! While the doctor was telling me to push, I was yelling at the doctor to pull!

She was not a very pretty newborn, I suppose because she was squished inside me for too long. I don’t think she could open her eyes for three days. But she grew into such a cute little girl, and now a gorgeous young woman.

She has put more than a few gray hairs on my head throughout the years. But overall, she has been a blessing. And I couldn’t be more proud of who she has become, and am so excited about what lies before her.

Happy birthday, Boog!
