Kasen turns 2!

These past 2 years have really flown by but yet it seems like a world ago when Kasen was born.

Kasen's birthday was kinda emotional for me. I was just feeling so blessed that we both were here to celebrate together. TJ and I were just talking the other night how it was a full two days after kasen was born that I was actually able to hold him for the very first time. Those two days are still so vivid in my mind and very fresh. I longed to hold my sweet baby in my arms yet feeling like death myself and so thankful I had sweet nurses to care and look over him. I just kept thinking about one of my like 50 ICU nurses who I can't even recall her name but it was because of her that I even got to see Kasen as early as I did. She was so moved and sad over my situation and pulled every string she could to get me to him. Babies cannot leave the NICU and no one can visit the ICU or leave. Somehow she did it. She must have spent like an hour just moving and reattaching all of my machines and drips and cords just to be able to make it possible for me to get in a wheelchair and then like 3 nurses to actually get me in it. The world literally stopped when I was able to hold my tiny baby in my arms. It was such a sweet memory that I will never forget and I love my nurse for making it happen. In two years we have had cords, heart monitors, hip checks, heart murmur checks, helmets and so on. But today I have a perfect little boy who is as sweet as can be who loves to cuddle and laugh. He is so easy and happy most of the time. He loves to follow his sisters around, play outside, play with anything trains, balls or cars. He is such a ray of sunshine in our home and I am so blessed he is my son.

He is starting to really talk now and sing songs. And still so easy to carry on my hip since he only weighs 21 lbs.

I love this boy!
