Today he turns 5. And I can remember what the day was like 5 years ago. Man, it seems like yesterday. Aaron was working the midnight shift, so I was home alone with Ethan(17 months old). I woke about 2 with mild contractions and since I was 6 days past my due date I thought this might be it. I wrote the time down every time one woke me up. I finally got up and showered around 6:30. Started getting last minute stuff together for my stay and waited for Aaron to get home a little after 7. When he walked in the door I bypassed the "Hi babe. How was work?" and went straight to," you better get some sleep 'cause we're having a baby today." So, Aaron went to bed and I waited for his mom to come and stay with Ethan. We took our time because I wasn't hurting too bad. My mil got to our house about 11 and I woke Aaron. We got checked in and they broke my water around 12:30. Still not hurting too bad we watched the Cubs play and I had visitors and talked on the phone to pass the time. However, about 4:00 I started feeling LOTS of pain. I made it until 5:30 before I asked for Stadol and out came Levi at 5:46! He weighed in at a hefty 6.4 pounds and was in such a hurry he didn't even wait for the doc to get in the room. I must say he was the easiest delivery of the 4 I've been through. He was just the tiniest, cutest thing. And now? He's still cute but not so little. He can ride a bike with no training wheels and do flips on the trampoline and swim with no floaties. And he lost his first tooth 2 days ago with number 2 coming out in a week or so. He loves to help and does most everything I ask of him. He also can throw a pretty good fit. But after all is said and done, my second born is a great kid with a big heart and I love him more with every breath. Happy Birthday, Levi!!

My second born
