Happy Birthday Lauren!

Lauren was a trouble maker and a miracle right from the start. We thought we were complete after we had Milena, but Lauren had other ideas. I didn't know she was on her way until I was 4 months pregnant and by the time I got int0 the Doctor I was over 5mths along. She was born seven weeks early so there was only ten weeks separating my first Dr. appt. and the delivery...I know shortest Pregnancy ever! She had to stay in the NICU for three long weeks, and even though I thought I was a pro at the NICU stuff it was still really hard and and I had my meltdowns. It was so wonderful to bring her home, she is such a happy girl, we are so happy and thankful to have her in our family. I'm feeling a multitude of emotions today, she is growing so fast and now knowing she is my last baby is making me a little sad, but also very happy.



It was such a blessing when we could finally hold her.

Our little munchkin has come a long way, you would never know she was only 4lbs when she was born... she has surely made up for that.

Stacia, Landon and Milena got her some goldfish and a cute little book.


We are having a little family party for her on Sunday, but I really wanted to celebrate on her birthday. As you can see she very much enjoyed the cake, I'm sure she won't mind doing it again for the fam.
