Well- our boy Trey "III" is having a birthday this week. It is so hard to believe that time has gone by so fast. He grumbles around about being the middle child, but you must remember that he was the first born son to the Lam fam.
Let me take you back.... Trey was born on a Thursday because Dr. Scheihing did inductions on Thursdays. He was actually due on June 18th but the blasted doctor let me go 10 days late although anyone could see I was enormous. Following in the family history of his mom and dad he was born in downtown Harris Hospital.
Unlike the birth of our first(you know who) child - now we had taken Lamaze childbirth classes. Frank and I were ready with focus points and breathing routines. Believe it or not it was only recently before this that only the most fool-hardy fathers came in the sacred delivery room. (Now, I was ready to go the distance 'drug - free' until this rather un-wieldy child inside me tried in any way to get out.) We were anticipating the birth of little boy/girl Ervin Franklin III(proudly named after Frank and his dad) or Brooke Marie or Robin Moonbeam (cause in those days a sonagram was unheard of) and little did we know if there were those special little bits and pieces.
To sum it up -- It was altogether a miracle that God blessed us with (I know, you thought I was going to tell all the gory details) but basically I would have gone through any thing for the sight of that very round (9 lbs, 9 ozs) baby BOY. The nurse to my right almost spilled the beans because she said "It's a B.." and Dr. Scheihing gave her a dirty look and he very proudly held Trey up and said 'It's a Boy and M.C. I think you've had a ten pounder!"
Our handsome son Trey has from that moment on made us continually proud for 27 years. He is blessed with the quick wit and incredible intelligence with which he astounds us all.
Happy Birthday Boy!
