I can't believe that my baby boy is 2 years old. I was remembering the events leading up to his birth over the weekend since we had been at the zoo and it was a little like deja vu. We had taken Kambryn and Allie to the zoo with my sister and brother in law and all the time been joking that hopefully I wouldn't go into labor while we were there, that was Saturday. By the time we got home I was so uncomfortable and swollen but happy that the family had a good time. I went to work on Monday and waddled through the day, I had my 37 week check up Tuesday morning and the doctor was concerned that my blood pressure was elevated and send me to the hospital. Of course when given the option to stay in the hospital until I went into labor or go home on bed rest, I chose to go home. By making the decision to go home they wanted me to save all urine for the next 24 hours and bring it back to the lab within 36 hours. This was very interesting, the part about how to save it but we wont go into that one. Took that "sample" back to the doctor and wouldn't you know it, they diagnosed me with pre-eclampsia and ordered Kyle and I to head to the hospital. Knowing that I would be induced when I go there I made Kyle go through a drive though and get me some food. Got to the hospital, induction was started and our beautiful, pouty boy was here 12 hours later. It seems like just yesterday, I can remember every detail and moment and yet it has been two years.

Kolten you love to play with your sister or any other child for that matter. You have really come out of your shell in that last 6 months and have become a chatty Cathy like Kambryn. You love anything Toy Story, involving trucks or tractors and looking for bugs with your sister. Kolten you are such a sweet and loving boy, you adore your sister and want to do everything she is doing, you love to follow daddy around and help with big boy tasks and of course you are still a momma's boy and I just love that about you. Happy birthday big boy!
