Happy Birthday Seth

At this time 10 years ago I had no idea that later in the day I would be meeting my son for the first time.  The pregnancy had been problematic so we had been making frequent trips to the doctor for sonograms and I thought the one we were having that day would be fine just like all the rest.  We were scheduled to induce labor the next day so there was no way we would do anything today is what I figured.

But, after the doctor reviewed the sonogram he turned to us and said words I will never forget.  "Are you ready to have a baby today?"  The truth be known, I was not.

The rest of the day was spent trying to induce Shelley with no luck.  Then things got scary as our little boy's heart rate suddenly dropped and it was decided it was time for an emergency c-section.  Then at 3:37 pm on January  28th, 2003 Seth Reagan Dowdle was born.

Happy Birthday Seth!
