HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY JEREMY JAMES!

Today Jeremy is four years old! I can not believe how fast the time has flown by!

Four years ago at 11:21 am after about five hours and four pushes I was holding my sweet baby boy! Little did I know then that those five hours would be the easiest part of this journey into the adventure of being Jeremy’s Mom. He weighed in at 5 pounds 13 ounces and was a little over 19 inches long. I called him the Saggy Baggy Elephant because he had no fat on him and was so tiny. Eight hours later he was whisked off to the NICU due to low blood sugar, as were two other boys born on June 2, 2004. Jeremy decided that he too wanted to be a part of the “sugar party” in the NICU. He was given glucose thru an IV to help raise his sugar levels and to this day he is still my little sugar addict! Like mother like son!

On June 4, 2004, my 29th birthday, I was discharged from the hospital but Jeremy was having too much fun at the sugar party that he decided to hang out for a few more days. It was so hard for me to leave that little boy and go home. Soon, he joined us at home and “the journey” began.


Today, Jeremy is 4! He is 34.2 pounds and 39 3/4 inches tall (both put him in the 25-50th percentile). He is still my skinny little boy but he has grown so much! He is curious and energetic, creative and smart, he loves his dog Bandit, his grandparents, his cousins, and his Daddy, but he is definitely a Mommy’s boy through and through! His biggest fear is “getting bigger”. He says, “I want to stay this size, I want to be little forever Mommy!” Don’t I know it kid! I wish that too.

Happy Birthday Jeremy! I love you to the moon…..and back again!



~Love, Mommy~
