5 Years Ago...

Five years ago, I was on bed rest...waiting to find out how my first baby was doing. He came into the world 4 pounds 15.5 oz, 21 inches long. But, he was breathing on his own, completely developed. He rolled over in the first few minutes of life--scared the doctor! My parents were there, and I was very glad. The story is long, and it's a whirlwind to tell...but the emotions have sort of calmed down a bit. I mean, it HAS been five years.
In the past five years, Zach has learned to do a lot. He started reading at three, and now he doesn't go to bed when told (there is a stack of books up on the top bunk), well, I take that back. He goes to bed, but doesn't sleep. He's hilarious, and keeps us laughing.

So, to Zachary! Happy birthday, baby!
