Happy Birthday Scott Jakob!!!

At 3:17 am on Wed. Jan. 10th, one of my babies will be turning 5 years old! I myself find that hard to believe. It seems like just yesterday I was going thru such pain and anguish of pregnancy and couldn't wait to be done with it and meet my 2nd son. I was 10 days past my due date, Jack's parents had come to our home in NC to look after Ryan while I was in the hospital, and once my due date had come and gone, everyone was just kinda watching me like a time bomb- ticking and ready to explode any minute! So I was going to the doctor 1-2 times per week, and on Jan. 9th the nurse did an ultra sound, and to my surprise (and hers) she discovered that there was little to no amniotic fluid left in my uterus! That's 'cause I was overdue and was carrying a large baby...So they rushed me upstairs to the labor & delivery floor, straped me down w/monitors and hooked me up to IV's and got the process started with pitocin. A grueling 11 hours later (which really isn't that bad) my little baby was here. And get ready- he weighed a whopping 10 pounds 8 onces and was 22 inces long! He was so sweet from the beginning. He has always been quiet, easy going, and very affectionate. He is a very smart little boy, he knows what he wants and is very confident. He has brought me so much joy just watching him grow and I thank God every day for having him in my life!
