Seventeen

I really cannot believe Cody is 17, and we are heading into his senior year. He was my biggest baby(all 9lbs. 7.5oz. of him), but he was my easiest delivery. I'm not sure how that all worked out, but I was grateful. My Aunt Bev flew in from Oregon to help. The hospital was about 40 minutes from our house. We lived in West Virginia, but the hospital was in Maryland. We made several trips back and forth over the course of just a few days. I was induced, and they sent me home. We didn't know if we would be having a Memorial Day picnic or a baby. As it turned out, we had a sweet bundle of boy. Time has went by so quickly. I am feeling older by the minute! I will try and slow things down as to enjoy every single moment of this next year with our Cute Cuddly(not so much anymore - but I still try) Cody.
