Happy 8th Birthday, Zachariah!

Happy 8th Birthday, son. We can hardly believe that you were struggling for your life that long ago. Sometimes it seems just a little while ago that we were standing over you in the special care nursery with your tubes and wires, even an I.V. in your tiny forehead. What a scare you gave us! We knew there was a big possibility for you to have breathing problems coming 5 wks early. Mommy was so sad to be in a different hospital than you, and I couldn't wait to sign myself out after 2 days, even with sky high blood pressure. I think the Dr. figured out it would only get higher if he kept me away from you any longer. You entered this world at 5lbs9oz, kinda big for being early. When you dropped down to 4lbs5oz, it was hard to imagine you being as big as you are today,and overall healthy!
So even though you are growing up very fast, you'll always be my little man! We love you so much, and are so thankful for the day God blessed us with you.
