Happy Birthday Chandler!

I can't believe you were born a year ago today. You have brought so much joy to our family and created a bond between us all. Love you baby boy.


Born at 3lbs and struggling to breathe you defied the odds.

At exactly five weeks you finally were able to successfully breathe on your own and eat a little at a time.

You came home on a heart monitor so I could tell right away if you stopped breathing.

Thank you for pushing past those hard months. Thank you for fighting for every breath instead of giving up! I love you son!

And, your little boy is precious! What a miracle! Hope you guys enjoyed the holidays.
