15 years ago today, I walked into Howard Community Hospital at 7 AM to have my baby. I was already 10 days over due, so I was more than ready! It wasn't too chilly when I got there, but as the hours passed, the temperatues dropped. By noon when Dr. Williams came in to break my water, it was pretty cold and beginning to snow. Mom and Erin were there for the duration. I walked the halls with Matt and Ryan. It seemed like everyone was as anxious as I was for this little one to arrive. Finally, at 7:43 PM Everett Levi Schroeder made his appearance weighing in at 8 lbs. 7 oz. and 21 inches long. He had lots of dark hair! What a beautiful baby boy! Thanks to all of my friends and family who have helped us through the years. The last 15 years have flown by. We've both learned and grown along the way, and I'm proud of the young man he is turning into. Happy Birthday Rett!
