four

4 years ago I was having contractions 6 weeks early, so I called my doctor and she assured me everything was fine, I would come into the hospital and they would give me a shot to stop my pre-term labor. I called my husband who was just getting off of work and told him what was going on and told him he didn't even need to come to the hospital (My parents where driving me) well of course he came right away. 2 shots and 16 hours later I gave birth 6 1/2 weeks early to my beautiful 5 pound 2.5 oz baby boy.

As soon as he came out he wasn't crying but they held him up for me to see and rushed him out to the NICU. He was on the ventilator for 24 hours and then was in NICU for 2 more weeks on oxygen, and eating through a feeding tube through his nose. He was so strong and completely in charge. When they tried to give him a bottle he refused and wanted to nurse.

Alijah means- "The Lord is my God"

and Evan means- "Well Born".

It fits him perfectly.

He decided when to come into this world and nothing was going to stop him lol. He is so stubborn just exactly like his daddy and he wants things on his terms.

Alijah- you changed my entire life. You were the best thing that could have ever came along at the exact perfect time. I am so proud to be your mommy.

I love you with every single ounce of my being.

Love, Mommy
