Happy 8th Birthday Bug!!!

I can't believe that you are 8 years old! The last 8 years have gone by faster than my pregnancy with you! I remember still how badly we wanted you to make it when I was pregnant with you, and we prayed everyday that you would stay in just one more day. You were a fighter and only came 6 weeks early. You made all of the bedrest and the 9 weeks in the hospital worth it! You even fought in the NICU, doing everything much faster than the dr's expected and coming home after only 10 days. You had such a large spirit in such a tiny body, and we knew that you were meant to be in our family!
You have made us laugh like no one else, and have been my little buddy! I loved taking you places while everyone else was at school, and cried when you went to school for the first time. You have your sisters and your daddy wrapped around your finger, and know it!
Happy happy birthday Bug! We love you!
