Happy 7th Birthday!

7 years ago I woke up at 4am with the worst contractions ever. I waited several hours to call the doctor and notify them that I was in labor. Once I felt like it was time to go I called Roger to pick me up..he didn't answer. I drove myself down the block to a friends house, no answer. I finally decided to wake up my roommate (whom I wasn't speaking with at the time) to drive me to the hospital. Once we go there they sent me home and told me to rest, eat, shower and wait until I couldn't handle it any longer. So I did all of these things. I finally got a hold of Roger and I then called my boss, and told him I wouldn't be coming in to work that night or for the next 3 months for that matter. All while contractions interupting me of course. We arrived at the hospital and waited SSSOOOO LONG to start pushing. After a few pushes and a lot of throwing up I delivered Tanner Dalton Craft. 5lbs 4 oz and 19inches long.

I unfortunetly didn't get to see Tanner right away, he had several complications and was taken to NICU. After what seemed like forever I was finally escorted to see Tanner so tiny and precious in his little incubator. My little precious guy was so sweet...until I took him home and he was so colicky! The kids woudln't stop crying, which made me not stop crying! Now here we are 7 years later and both of us still won't stop crying. No really he cries about everything!

We both are a lot alike we are both very sensitive though. I just cannot believe that time flies to quickly and he is starting 2nd grade and can really be a smart ass.

I thought about this blog all day today and I was super excited to have a newborn picture posted with a picture from today. All my pictures are on a broken computer and I cannot transfer them. So above I have included an Easter picture of Tanner. It's just so him, I pull out my camera and he turns into a smiling model!

Happy Birthday my sweet Tanner! I love you so much!
