Today, my little man turned 1, wow! The days go by fast! I can remember the morning that Nathan and I drove to the hospital one year ago today, it was rainy and dreary much like today. We had to be there at 5:00am to prep for Jackson's birth, he was born via cesarean section. I remember feeling much more nervous for this birth than I did for Hailee's, which was odd. I don't know if it was because I knew what to expect (therefore, brought the nerves) or if it was not being sure in my capabilities of being a mother of two. I was anxious for Hailee and how our relationship may change having another baby in the house, I was not looking forward to no sleep and more nursing, ha! I remember the surgery like it was yesterday and how sick I got afterwards. I remember that I didn't get to physically hold him until almost 12 hours after he was born because he was not strong enough to come off of his oxygen. I remember praying A LOT those three days in the hospital for the health of my new baby boy...thank you God for my little miracle.

Oh,how I love this little guy! All of the sleepless nights, early mornings, ear infections, and spit up is nothing but "little things" when I think about his bright smile, blue eyes, giggly laugh, and how he loves his sissy, mommy and daddy. He is such a blessing in our family and I am proud to have him as my son.

Nathan and I both took off of work today to spend this special day with him. I captured some snap shots of our day together. We love you Jackson, Happy Birthday buddy!
