Happy Birthday Nicholas!

Dear sweet baby boy-
One year ago today at 4:30pm you were born. You weighed in at 6lbs 12ozs and were 19 inches long.

You were/are perfect! I fell in love with you instantly.
Your big sister couldn't wait to meet you!

I loved being in the hospital with you. It was our special bonding time. Just you and me.


When you were 4 weeks old you had RSV. It was severe enough that they admitted you to the hospital. I'm so sorry mommy wasn't completely in her right state of mind. I still never left your side. Thankfully you recovered pretty quickly and you got released on February 14th. Valentine's day. That was the best present I ever got.

You started growing up so fast. Once you found your toes you would chew on them constantly. They are some of the smelliest things ever!!! You get that from your daddy!


This is one of my all-time favoritist picture of you. Once you learned how to blow raspberries it was all over. Every time you would look at me and do it my heart would just melt.

Mommy loves you so much. Before your sister was born I never thought it was possible to love someone as much as I love you two. Whenever I'm having a bad day all you have to do is look at me and smile. You make everything all better.
I love you pickle, always and forever, no matter what!
Love Mommy.
