My baby is 5 years old!


I know this post is super late, but my 1st baby turned 5 on July 3rd! I can't believe that it has been 5 years! Where does the time go? It just seemed like last week he was an infant in my arms and now he is a big boy getting ready to start Kindergarten.

Ian was born 5 weeks early after I developed Pre-Eclampsia and had to be induced to avoid having seizures. After starting my induction on Tuesday evening, I finally went into full blown labor in the early mornings of Thursday, July 3rd. My labor progressed so quickly that I didn't end up getting an epidural and had Ian naturally at 10:17am. He was a peanut at 4 lbs. 10 oz. He was a slow breather and a preemie so they took him off to the NICU right away. Here are a few images from July 2003.






BTW: The monster hand in this picture is my husband's!
Ian was just so tiny the hand looks enormous!






Now 5 years have passed and my little baby has become my little man. He is growing up so fast. I am just trying to take in every moment with him. Here are a few pictures from Ian's 5th birthday party.


Happy Birthday Buddy! I love you!

Love,
Mommy
