My Baby is 3!!

Oh my gosh. My baby is three today. It is so weird to remember that at this time three years ago I was heading to my last appt at Dr Payne's office. I was actually going to cancel this appt but decided to go anyway. Good thing. I remember Dr Payne telling me after my ultrasound it was baby day. I was thinking yep that is right. Next Thursday is delivery day. And he was like No TODAY is baby day. He told me he was calling Dr Reimer and I was going to deliver that day because I had basically no fluid left. I remember calling Doug and telling him to turn off his computer and leave the office. No questions just leave and meet me at the house. So at approx 2 pm on Friday Jacob Ryan was born. I remember hearing him cry for the first time and just this wave of relief and elation wash over me. All I could say to Doug is "He's crying, He's crying". Then they started working on him. He was grunting so they were a little worried. They rolled him by me and took him to the NICU. Dr Reimer was so sweet. After they rolled Jake away he leaned down and gave me a hug. I think he was as happy as we were that Jake was here and safe. Jake being in the NICU freaked Doug out a little. I completely understand where he was coming from. But a few hours later Jake was off CPAP and doing fine. Just had to get his lungs dried out. Who knew what a crazy preschooler that kid would become? He is just absolutely crazy. He is the insanity that is the temper to William's calm. It is so cool to see them grow up together. Jake really worships his older brother. He is William's parrot. It is so sweet to see it. Granted they try and beat it each other up a little too much but what are you going to do with brothers? The journey continues.
Much love today,
