9 years ago I was totally knocked out and apparently, a team of doctors and medical professionals yanked an 8lb 13oz baby out of my belly via emergency c-section. I remember waking up after the general anesthesia wore off for just a minute and looking over in his bassinet. There was this little old man wrapped up in a blanket and he had an entire head of jet black hair. I remember nodding my head and telling myself, "holy s!@#, he's mine." Then I passed out again. I missed the first three breast feedings to sleep but I was told he was a great eater.
We took Fen to breakfast and he ate 1 "flap jack", bacon, eggs and toast. Then we opened presents. We picked up Fen's friend Jack and all headed to the baseball park. The M's lost but the game was close and very exciting. We went to Boeing field to check out the Blue Angels and we also stopped by to see some of the stunt planes. Fen met one of the pilots who got the entire pilots lounge to sing him happy birthday. We had dinner at our neighborhood hangout, St. Clouds, and they sang to him as well.
The best part about Fen's 9th birthday for us was to see him finally learn to confidently ride his bike. He got a brand new Schwinn right before he left and he is now hooked!
