Right on schedule, my oldest son turned 17 today, about 15 minutes ago as a matter of fact. We had a difficult day that day, 17 years ago, 14 1/2 hours of labor that was induced and therefore supposed to be over quickly. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck twice and he was not breathing when he was born. He had to be resuscitated and then taken quickly to the special care nursery where he had to spend several days. He had IVs in his arms, his legs and finally in his head. Thankfully, he's okay now. :-) I am the stereotypical mom who cannot believe how long it's been!
Happy Birthday!
