I just returned from the big birthday party celebrating Jaxson and Ryan's first birthday. One year old. Time goes so fast and they grow so quickly. They were born almost two months premature. Jaxson, the first picture, had his water break. Their mom had to spend almost six weeks laying in a hospital bed trying to not go into labor. I did not realize that was possible. I always thought once the water broke that was it. Apparently since the amnionic fluid replaces itself if no infection develops and you do not go into labor you can just chill out and hope to go as long as you can laying in bed. On Cinco De Mayo, May 5th, they became concerned about fever and infection and the boys were born. I included a picture of them when they were one day old just to give a perspective of how much they have grown and what a miracle they are. Because I am so bad at getting the captions correct in the pix they are Jaxson, Ryan, then Ryan in the NICU and then Jaxson in the NICU, with dad's hand for size comparison. They both weighed right at three pounds and now Jaxson is 17 lbs and Ryan is 20 lbs. Next picture shows both boys enjoying their baseball birthday cakes, then Jaxson making sure we see he has cake up his nose and Ryan giving someone a very interesting look. The party was so much fun and the boys are so huggable. It was a very fast weekend. They are both lively one year olds with Ryan walking about six or so steps and Jaxson three or four steps. They are typical boys wrestling and fighting over the same toy or blankie. It was a fun weekend and they let me hug and kiss on them and actually liked me holding them which when you have not seen little kids in a while you are never sure they will let you do. I already miss them.
