RYKER'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

RYKER'S BIRTHDAY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. IM NERVOUS BUT YET REALLY EXCITED! I CANT BELIEVE MY LITTLE BABY BOY IS ALREADY A YEAR OLD. ITS CRAZY HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING SO PRECIOUS AS A BABY

STARTING OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER

ME AND BRYCE GOT MARRIED FEBRUARY 20, 2009. ME AND BRYCE DATED FOR A YEAR AND A HALF BEFORE WE GOT ENGAGED. SHORTLY AFTER WE WERE ENGAGED WE FOUND OUT WE WERE EXPECTING. WE WERE BOTH SCARED BUT WE KNEW WE COULD GET THROUGH EVERYTHING. WE FOUND OUT BEFORE CHRISTMAS OF 08 THAT WE WERE HAVING A LITTLE BOY, WHICH WAS NOT EXPECTED. WE THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING A LITTLE GIRL BUT WE WERE BOTH JUST AS EXCITED BOUT A LITTLE BOY. WE HAD OUR LITTLE BOY SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT MARRIED, ON APRIL 1, 2009 RYKER DANIEL MICKELSEN WAS BORN. IT WAS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! I NEVER LOVED SOMEONE SO MUCH THE FIRST TIME I MET THEM AS MUCH AS I DID RYKER. BRYCE WAS THE PROUDEST DADDY I KNOW. HE ALWAYS WANTED TO HOLD RYKER AND FEED HIM. IT WAS A HARD FIRST FEW DAYS OF RYKER'S LIFE BECAUSE HE WAS IN THE NICU FOR THE FIRST 4 DAYS OF HIS LIFE BE CAUSE I HAD RYKER 3 WEEKS BEFORE MY DUE DATE. AFTER HE GOT RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL WE STAYED WITH BRYCE'S PARENTS FOR A MONTH BECAUSE OUR HOUSE WASNT FINISHED YET. THEN BEFORE WE KNEW IT OUR HOUSE WAS DONE AND WE WERE GETTING READY TO MOVE IT.
