Happy Birthday Alex!!!!

I can not believe that 11 years ago today at around 10 a.m. I went into labor for the first time!! I was in labor ALL day and finally went to the hospital around 7 p.m. They monitored me for a couple of hours and then said go home, it will stop. Well, it did not stop!! And I went back to the hospital around 12 a.m. Now at 36 weeks and 4 days pregnant, on July 20, 1999, at 5:39 a.m. my beautiful baby boy was born. Weighing in at 4 pounds 15 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long. He was so tiny. You would never know by looking at him today what a little guy he was. Happy birthday to the most wonderful caring child anyone could ever ask for. You make me a better person and I love you more than you will ever know!!!

Avery's 15 month checkup

We went to the doctor on Monday for Avery's check up. She said that I pretty much have a two year old!! Weighing in at 27 pounds 13 ounces she is in the 95% for her age. She was 33 1/2 inches tall, which is off the charts for height!! My baby is getting too big too fast. She is such a sweetheart, always giving hugs and kisses. Nothing makes my day better than when she throws her little arm around my neck to pull me close to her. I wish I could stop time and keep her this age forever.
