Okay, so I'm a few weeks late in posting this, but I am proud to say that Hunter turned 12 years-old on February 2nd. Relieved, too. There was a time -- well, actually, a LOT of times, I wondered if he would.
I look back over his life -- from the first time I heard his heartbeat to now -- and I stand in awe of him. Bringing him into this world at the proper gestational age and bringing him into this world alive was not an easy thing to do. Especially because I did it by myself.
A few weeks ago and at his request, I shaved Hunter's head. As I was removing chunks of hair from his scalp I couldn't help but stare at him. Several times during the process he would tilt his head a certain way, or look at me a certain way, and it was as though I was looking at his brother, Connor. The resemblance would be even more frightening if each of them shared the same eye color. Hunter has very dark brown eyes and Connor's are a bright, brilliant blue.
Happy Birthday, Hunter Bear!
