he was underwater for a long time while the midwives unraveled him.
AMAZINGLY, he was just fine.
but he's been PERFECT ever since!!
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
Mothers,
“Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. …Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones….The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you…. If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do….Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: ‘Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.’ Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.’ You are doing God’s work.”
Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother,” Ensign, May 1997

Happy Birthday Beckam! You are a mover and a shaker! I remember being pregnant the same time your mother was. I had Aaron two days before you were born and left the hospital the day she had you.
I forgot to mention what a cutie you are. Have a fun day. Ixchelle
i love you beckam! from jaden
Happy Birthday to you cute thang! Cant wait till mine is that age...
Another 2 year old in the world. Watch out! I love those pictures of he and Jaden up against the fence. How did you get them to look like that? He really is such a handsome little boy.
Was he born underwater? (Sorry, I never heard the details.) The cord was wrapped around Jack's neck and entire body too. He wasn't breathing- part of the trauma when he was born. Happy birthday to Beckam. He is such a cute boy!
Mandee--
Yep, Beckam was born in the water! It didn't end up being as wonderful and helpful as I'd hoped but I think the chord issue had a lot to do with that. I think he had a hard time descending because he was so wrapped up, which prolonged my labor. My first birth was much smoother without the tub/chord problems.
Nice tribute to Beckam Boy. He is so handsome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY from your Maughan fans!
yay, beckam! what a fabulous free spirit with a heart of gold.
what wonderful kids :)
