Happy Birthday Jack!

Today is the day...well actually it was this morning..EARLY morning...that one year ago we welcomed you into this world! Mommy had her doctors appt on Thursday 7/20 at which point it was decided that you were no where near wanting to come out; nothing was happening not even braxton hicks contractions so my scheduled induction for Monday became a scheduled repeat c-section. I was a little disappointed at having to have another section but it was hot as hell and I wanted you out (just being honest) so on Friday 7/21 I pulled weeds...couldn't sleep well and when I woke up Saturday 7/22 it was odd that I was feeling some pain...well when I could start timing the pain I thought hmm that is odd...I called the doc and he said to come in checked out because of having a section with your brother I needed to be monitored if I was in labor so I told Rob to keep your brother at home I was sure I would be back...drove myself to the hospital..still having contractions about 1 - 3 mins long and about 10 mins apart...checked in; got hooked up and NOTHING..that's right...still nothing..doc said go home; warm bath etc..I got back home about 2:30 and I went to lay down...well at 5 when the contractions had not stopped but instead became stronger I called the doc again and basically said this pain has got to end...so we dropped TJ off at MiMi's and off we went..this time I had to be wheeled from the ER back to labor and delivery and by the time they got me all hooked back up it was about 7 and I was 1cm dialated...at midnight when they could get me in for a section I was 7cm's so I said let's go for it...I started pushing at 3:15 and you were born at 3:33...7 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches long...you were not actually named until day 2 in the hospital...but you were loved instantly....you are now 1 and just a few days ago became a full on walker...no more crawling...I see running (after TJ) in your near future...you can say a few words but most times it sounds like chinese...you say dixie or doggie; we aren't really sure which; dadda and momma...you still use your bottle but are drinking more and more from a cup (bascially because mommy is sick of bottles). You are a super sleeper and can make me laugh and smile in an instant..you LOVE LOVE LOVE your big brother..as soon as he starts to bust a move you give us your fully belly giggle! Your brother has nicknamed you Trouble and it works because you get into everything. Happy Birthday Jack Ryan...we love you!
