At the time I am typing this two years ago, I was probably calling my doctor saying, “Enough is enough!” I had been having contractions all day and went to the hospital around 1p.m. only to walk the halls a bit and be sent home. I was then not only feeling awful, but angry and irritated and that is not a good combo! Rick and I went to a club in our town where our sister-in-law worked, as she had our oldest son there and they were swimming. While Rick swam and played with Evan, I walked laps around the pool, stopping to go into the bathroom and hold my hand against the stall just wishing I was in the hospital having this baby! We didn’t know whether it would be another boy or a girl. We came home, I tried to eat dinner and fold laundry- which neither were too succesful! So on the phone with my doctor, she told me to just go in and that she promised she wouldn’t let them send me home again! I got my stuff together, kissed Evan goodbye, and after a shift change at the hospital….I was back! That was about 8 p.m. by the time I was checked in and at 11:56 p.m. our second son, Landyn Grey Henningfeld graced us with his presence, weighing in at 8 lbs. 9oz. Landyn- you have given us many a hard time with your fusiness, screaming, and all the things you get into on a non-stop basis, but you have made us laugh more than we think any child could ever do and we feel you were a true gift from God, a miracle, after the loss of two babies. We couldn’t be more lucky to have a son like you- full of energy and laughter!
Love, mom and dad

Now- 2 years old- June 22nd, 2011
By the way- it’s like you’ve been in the terrible two’s for about 8 months already…lol! Treasuring the moments though because I don’t want you to grow up!
I’m documenting the moments too, by the way, so I can show you all the things you did someday when your older and maybe when you have a little boy.
- Love, mom
Brooke,
You are such a wonderful mom and friend! I don’t know how you do it, but I pray God will bless you and Rick over and over!
Happy Birthday Landyn!
