We had a leap year baby! 🐸
The year is 2020 and a week before everything shut down, our son was born on February 29th.
My original due date was in March but little man had other plans! My dad said he knew that he would be born on that day when our OB told us that it was possible just because of who I am 😂
little man was 1 of 5 babies born that day in our city and he made it on the news!
I literally stayed up after he needed to eat and be changed in the hospital waiting so that I could record it on my phone and keep that memory forever.
I don’t know how, I was so exhausted but I figured that would be something he would enjoy to see when he is older.
Now he’s 4 years old 😭 where has the time gone??
