F-I-V-E

At this exact moment 5 years ago I was staring at my newborn son and feeling a little like my insides had become outsides. Geof was born at 2:58pm on Friday, January 31, 2003 after an hour and a half pushing session and close to 20 hours of labor. He weighed in at 8lbs 9oz and was 21 inches long.




Today he stands 46 ^1/2" and weighs exactly 50lbs. I can't hold him and cuddle him as much as I used to, mainly because he won't let me, but he still makes me melt when I look at him just like that very first day.
