I can not believe..............

I can not believe that at this exact moment Jared is 4 years old. I am so lucky to have him for my son. He was/is a major blessing for Darrin and me. He is a very funny and bright little boy and if your not careful he will get the better of you. With his big beautiful blue eyes, He has got the poor little puppy dog look down to a T. I remember this day better then any day of my life. He came out dark blue and not breathing, All I could think was that this was not how it was supposed to be. Gabe was so easy and he came out perfect (well as perfect as a newborn could be, all pink and wrinkled). It took the doctors 7 minutes to get Jared to breath and when he took his first breath it was like he was saying " Hey mom, look I'm ok." He didn't cry much at all (but I did)and I only got to touch his cheek and then he was gone. Off to the NICU where he stayed for the first 36 hours of his life. It was unreal to me why my big fat pink 9 lb baby boy was in there with all the tiny tiny premature babies. I am so thankful that he is with me...US. Our family would not be the same without him. Jared....You are my sunshine!
I love you my little...(well not so little anymore)...munchkin butt.
HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY.
