Four Years Ago

Four years ago, on June 29, 2005, a little surprise came into our family. A surprise because we weren't expecting to meet him until September 15th!

Samuel Carter Jensen was born at 28 weeks weighing 2 pounds 15 ounces and was 15 1/2 inches long. Sam was just a little peanut!

He lived in the NICU for seven and-a-half weeks and then moved to the Special Infant Care Unit for another two weeks. He had bleeding in his brain and could not breathe on his own -- but is now miraculously perfect.

We are so thankful for him and our family wouldn't be complete without Sam! He is silly, sweet, has the memory of an elephant, loves to read and play outside. He is a gift!

Now he's four! Happy Birthday, Sam!
