Happy 19th Birthday Marcel.The years have gone by so quickly and it was only like yesterday you were this dear little sweet baby.
Let me tell you about your entrance into this world.
I was busy baking a banana cake and peanut brownies the morning that our second baby decided to come two weeks earlier than expected.
We had to make some quick decisions as to where you were going to be born - home birth or hospital?
We decided home was the best place, so big sister went across to be looked after by a very kind neighbour. This saved the three hour journey down to her Grandparents as was originally planned.
You were born at home after a short birth of three hours with the wonderful help of Doctor McLaurin and Midwife Jenny. The interesting thing about the Doctor, his Grandfather had delivered me into the world, so it really is a small world sometimes.
We were able to sit and have a nice hot cup of tea with cakes and biscuits out of the oven.
Soon after, you were visited by your big sister Victoria who was able to meet and cuddle her new baby brother.
A happy day indeed! ... and now want to wish you the happiest of birthdays and a great year ahead for you. Love you xx
We are going out to dinner tonight to celebrate the birthday.Thank you for visiting me and I look forward to coming over to say hello to you.
Happy weekend to all my friends.
Hugs
Carolyn

Oh Carolyn what a beautiful post. Beautiful baby pics too. It was nice that the doctor could be present on such short notice - and a wonderful coincidence about his grandfther bringing you into the world.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the celebrations are enjoyable and a very happy birthday to Marcel.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Marcel!!! I wish him a wonderful day and all the best!
ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn, did the banana cake and peanut brownies become a tradition for Marcel's birthday then? It certainly sounds yummy!
Have a great dinner and a lovely weekend!
Hugs to you,
Julia
What a beautiful story about Marcel's special delivery Carolyn! I know he brings you both much joy, so the happiest of birthdays to dear Marcel. Much dash as MOTH's taking me to see Boy at the movies this arvo, I've heard it's the feel-good movie of the year.

Carolyn, I think you're so very brave to have a baby at home! May your son have a super birthday. Please tell him hello from Kansas and wishing him a good birthday from across the pond.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your post. This is something that the doctor that delivered you was related to the doctor that delivered your child.
May you have a fun celebration!
Carolyn, thank you for all your prayers for my health. Appreciate you my Friend!
God bless you and your Marcel,

Amazing how fast they grown up... le sigh!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, Happy Birthday to your son. What a cute little baby and boy he is. Doesn't it seem impossible that the years fly by so quickly and then they are 19? WOW. Love the story of his birth. What a wonderful memory. I bet the baked goods you were making were better then anything from the hospital and so welcome after the birth.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. I hope you all had a wonderful time out for dinner.
Have a great week.
Hugs and blessings,
Celestina Marie
