20 Years Ago Today,,,

Exactly two decades ago today, February 23, 1996, I gave birth to the tiniest baby boy who was border line premature! He was just a little over 5 pounds. He was my second born child and he was a miracle baby because the whole pregnancy was considered a high risk pregnancy because in the first trimester, it was very possible that I could have miscarried him. But, thanks be to God, he made it!
Every February 22 since then has always been the day I will remember as being the day I was in labor! He was born in the early morning hours after midnight of the 23rd.
Now, I can't believe that my "small tiny baby" is a grown young man who is in college and has a girl friend!
Time surely has flown by!

I'm really glad to hear that you've been able to enjoy seeing him grow up. It is certainly a gift to be able to do that as a parent. I'm one of the lucky parents, who didn't have any issues during pregnancy, labour, or anything like that. It must have been hard for you guys to go through. But I am glad to hear that he pulled through. Enjoy!

@LeaPea2417 I can certainly imagine. My kids are 4, 2 1/2, and 1, and I do miss when they were smaller. I don't think this feeling will go away.

Yes, I was lucky and got to be a full time Mommy to both my sons. I do miss those days when they were younger.

It is with great love that we recall the birth of our children.
I am so happy to know that your premie has grown to a man.
Happy Birthday to him.

Yes, I remember in elementary school thinking that 12th grade and graduating from high school seemed so far off, but now , I realize how those days went by so fast.

They grow up so fast, I miss my grown sons as little guys. What I wouldn't do for one more day with them as toddlers. Happy Birthday to your son.
