Happy Birthday...

JUSTIN!! My baby is 15 today!! Oh...I can't believe 15 years ago we were at the hospital being induced. I was 2 weeks over due and huge!! The doctor decided to induce me cause there weren't no sign of him comin' on his own. It was actually a pretty easy labor, had an epidural, and pushed him out, took some work but I did it!! When I did feel pain was after he was born...he was 10lbs.!!! I was sore for many days and weeks after that!! Justin was also in the NICU for the first three days of life...yea, this huge baby in with all these little preemies. He literally outweighed the biggest baby by 5 times. Everyone kept asking "what is that huge baby doing in there?" He had taken a breath and swallowed some fluid and had low oxygen levels and a hard time breathing, which was scary for his dad and I and my parents with him being the firstborn, is was scary. But he pulled through and all was well. He was a good baby and has always made his dad and I laugh and smile and still does. It was such an exciting time for his dad and I and full of so many "firsts" and still is! I've told him he's our "practice" child and his dad I are bound to make a few mistakes, just bear with us and we'll learn together! Here's a few pictures of Justin... This picture is my all time favorite...
