HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANISTON LEE!!!

Today is Aniston's 2nd birthday. I can't believe two years ago today, she came into our lives. I'll never forget how hard this pregnancy was nor how it was worth every minute on bedrest, every stay in the hospital and every stick of the needle taking blood, testing blood sugar and giving insulin. Aniston was due 04/01/2007 but decided to make her debut early. Valentine's Day that year, I was having horrible back pain all day and around 4:00 decided to go to the doctor. After being hooked up to a monitor, it was determined I was in labor....PANIC! Erik and I were sent to the hospital where they were able to stop the contractions after putting me on magnesium. There I got to stay, in that wonderful hospital bed, for a week having constant blood draws, insulin injections, steriod injections and checks by the nurses to make sure she were doing alright.

After a week, the dr. determined she should be healthy enough to come out. Everyone came to the hospital and being a typical stubborn Robertson, she decided she was too nice and comfy and that she'd stay in for awhile longer. Two weeks later of me being on bedrest Aniston again decided to make her debut. At 9:14 on March 5, 2007 Aniston Lee Martinez was delivered via c-section at Central Washington Hospital. She was 4 weeks premature but still weighed in at 10lbs 3 ozs. Another week later, we were both discharged and able to go home. Such a long process but again....so worth it.

My little chubby bunny! Look at those cheeks! Nurses would come into my hospital room to "see the baby with the cheeks". She looked like a toddler in the nursery next to the 8lb babies.

Aniston's first photo shoot. We would also find out this week that she is lactose intolerant. That was a big relief as with just a switch of formula....she went from a very unhappy baby to a very, very happy one.

After this picture session...Auntie Leasha and Auntie Brandy convinced me to get her ears pierced. She wasn't happy for all of 5 seconds and then was over it.
Aniston in her jumper. She loved this thing.

Aniston's first mother/daughter trip. We went shopping in Bellevue for the weekend and stayed at the Hilton. The pool was way too cold...so her she is in the hot tub. I love her chubby little arms.

This is Aniston's alter ego "Shaniston". Shaniston would come to visit when Aniston was crabby. Auntie Leasha brought Shaniston to visit mommy at work. Love the doo rag Auntie.

Aniston and daddy's first professional photo together. This little white dress of hers was his favorite. She had already done her individual pictures and was tired of the camera and ripped her hair ties out.

This was Aniston's first Christmas present to Erik. He LOVES Tatupu from the Seahawks so we had her pictures done in his jersy. Our little Seagal.

Self-explanatory picture....Aniston and daddy in the pool.

I had Aniston's pictures done at Manito Park in Spokane. Apparently she was feeling feisty and decided to flash the ducks.

Happy 2nd Birthday Aniston Lee. You bring so much joy to our lives and we couldn't imagine it without out. You are the center of our world and we cherish every day we get to spend with you. Love, Daddy & Mommy
