One year already??!! Gracious me how time flies! Looking at these pictures- I just can't help but think back to the day he was born. I will remember Fischer's birth as well as will I remember my own children's. It was certainly much more eventful. On December 15, 2008, Casey was shopping in Hattiesburg when she "thought" she was having some labor pains. As calm as only my sister could be, she calls me to tell me she thinks she is going into labor... without the slightest bit of anxiety in her voice mind you. When she and Derek got to the hospital, she was told it was the real deal. Most of the family raced to the hospital soon after she checked in. Little did we know, Fischer wouldn't make his grand entrance until much later the next morning. Most of the family camped out in the waiting room while Casey endured some very intense and painful labor all through the night. Not to mention, Fischer's heart rate continually fluctuated and kept everyone on edge. Finally the next morning, Fischer was born!!! We got a quick glimpse of the little miracle before he was rushed back into the NICU because he wasn't breathing well. Apparently, the umbilical cord had been wrapped around his neck during labor along with some other complications. WHEW!! But he recovered quickly and we were so grateful to God for getting him here safely and for protecting his mommy in the process.
So far the little stinker still keeps us on our toes. He is such an active little man with a fun-filled spirit. He loves to be the entertainer and knows how to "turn it on" for the camera. He is very vocal and is already saying a lot for his age. Fischer took his first steps weeks before his birthday and is walking more and more everyday.
The Big Party!!
