5 years ago today I was laying in a hospital bed so anxious to see my little girl for the first time. I had spent the night in the hospital the night before due to a severe bladder infection, they monitored the baby all night and three different times throughout the night they came in to hook me up to oxygen because the baby's heart rate was dropping below the safe zone. So that morning August 4, 2004 my Dr came in and said they were going to just play it safe and induce me. I was 3 weeks ahead of my due date, but the baby was good size and healthy so there was no reason to keep her in if she was in any distress. So at 8:00am they started Patocin at 9am they broke my bag of water. Around 11am I got an epidural so I could relax and at 3:07pm Delaney Tierney Krueger was born. I remember thinking I don't think I can push one more time...so I was relieved and over joyed when they laid her on my chest for the first time. I remember just looking at her and thinking she was the prettiest baby in the whole world. (She still is in my eyes) I cried, happy tears, it was the best feeling, the feeling of being a mom, and meeting the baby you've gotten to know for the last nine months!
Now 5 years have passed...you're preparing for Kindergarten and you are growing like wild fire. You are very smart, very inquisitive and always helpful. You are sweet, and caring to Garrett. You give the best hugs with your HUGE muscles, and you have the most contagious laugh! I love you Delaney and I'll never forget the first time I layed eyes on you! Happy 5th Birthday!
