My Baby.......

Wow....... It's so hard to believe that 10 years ago I was in labor for you. Grandma took me to the hospital on January 24th to be induced... I was so excited that the time had finally come that you would be here. I had imagined for 9 months what you were going to look like. We waited and waited and finally on January 25th at 2:02 in the morning your were born. You didn't make a sound and you were held up for me to take a peek and then you were swiped away to the NICU with Grandma by your side. Papa Bear stayed with me in the morning. It was about 6 am that Grandma came down to my room to tell me all about you. You and Grandma sure did bond during those hours together. She told me that you hung on to her pinkie the whole time the nurses were getting your IV in and getting all the cords attached so that they could monitor you. It was about 9 am that I finally got to go up and see you. I remember the Dr. saying what a good little sucker you were. I knew he was right because the entrance of the NICU you could hear you sucking on your soothie. Boy were you a gift from God. Sometimes I forget how small you were way back then. You were such a little fighter and you still are. I remember giving you your first bath at midnight there in the NICU with Auntie Jenny's help. I was so excited to take you home and then you were finally mine. You were always my little bug. It has been so amazing watching you these past 10 years growing up. I remember your first smile, the first real hug that you gave me, oh my I could never tell you how much you mean to me. You even went to Seminary with Grandma... No wonder you are who you are.. You have always had Grandma and Papa wrapped around your finger. I remeber when you held Logan for the first time you were such a great big brother. Boy have you grown up so fast. You are amazing how smart you are and you're doing a wonderful job in school. It's hard to let my baby grow up so fast but it is also so much fun to watch you too. You're amazing dancer and musicain and what a creative mind you have. I sure do miss having Pooh Bear and Piglet being the ones blamed for all of your mess that were made. I just want to tell you how proud I am of you and the past 10 years have been the best. I love you my little bug.... Just remember that you will alway be my baby no matter how big you get.
Happy Birthday my Little Bug....
Love you bunches,
Mommy
