I had just polished off a #21 at San Jose - our traditional pre-delivery last meal. I was sitting in my bed, anxious {imagine that} about having another boy {didn't know what we were having, but I was worried}, worried that I didn't have enough love for 2 children - much less 2 BOYS! I now have 3 and can't imagine it any other way. I didn't even have a boy name picked out and had to frantically call Muzzy at the last minute for family name suggestions.
Worried. Worried. Worried!
The next morning, September 9, 2005, Fulton Barnes Baker {which suits him perfectly} was born.
A second son! {No one told me I'd be so completely and instantly enamored.}
It was true.
All my fears were coming true and somehow...
It couldn't have been a bigger blessing!
Sam said "Wow, Mom! God works fast! And He made sure all that stuff worked out."
Fulton said, "Yeah! 'Cause you love me and Sam and Oliver to the moon-and-back-and-back-and-back-and... . He does work fast!"
Today, I am so thankful for God's plan! I have these 3 amazing little boys. And I love each one as much as the other, in all kinds of different ways.
Tomorrow, we celebrate the 7th birthday of the Twinkly Little Spirit of my darling Fulton!
We love you more than you will ever know, buddy! Thank you for being a part of God's lesson to me that there are no limits on how much a mother can love 1 or 101 babies.
You are such a special gift to all who know you.
Happy 7th Birthday, sweet boy!!!
Love,
Your Crazy Family

God makes no mistakes. He knows what is best for us, and he knew the best thing for your (now 3!) boys would be to have you as their mom!
