1 year ago today, this little guy was born.

Mike and I had to wait what seemed like forever to finally have a baby. I had gone through 3 miscarriages over a period of 2 years with no answers, and had finally reached a point where I had to accept the fact that I might never be able to carry a healthy baby.
But finally, what seemed like thousands of prayers later, we were blessed with Emmett. My due date was November 4 and I was SURE I was going to go overdue because the Winterton family gene tended to swing that way. But to my surprise I ended up going into to labor on November 2 and had him 26 hours later on November 3.
While all babies are gifts, I like to consider Emmett my own special gift from God, considering all I had gone through, given to me on my birthday.
Its been a wonderful year and I'm so glad we get to share this day together for the rest of our lives.

I love this post. And the picture at the end is absolutely beautiful. Happy Birthday to all of you today. Love you all very much.
I'm tearing up over here too! I'm so happy for you! It's amazing how you realize Heavenly Father has it all planned out! I feel that way about having twins first because I had spent so long looking for "Mr. Right"! I felt like it was Heavenly Father saying, even though it took a long time, I knew the whole time what would happen!
Happy Birthday, Lisa and Emmett! I can't believe that he is already a year old. Such a handsome little guy! Hope it was a great day!
I had no idea you went through so much... this post was so beautifully written. Happy Birthday to two beautiful people!
That would have been so hard, but it does make him coming on your birthday extra special. Thanks for sharing. I think it helps others have hope that have had similar situations. Cute halloween pics. I absolutely loved all of the baby shower things you did and thanks for sharing where you got some of the ideas from.
Mmm this is very special. It's makes me want to cry...can you tell I'm looking forward to such memories!
Happy Birthday Emmett. You are a special baby and blessed to be born to such great parents!

I am glad that you have such a great gift. You and Mike are such great parents. I hope one day I can be like you!!
He's such a cutie and happy belated birthday! I was busy in the hospital or else I would have sent you over an email!
He was worth the wait and probably the best birthday present you will get in this life. We love you both!
