A year ago today I went for a walk with Grandma Lollie, Daddy and Addie. We just walked around the block but I was exhausted and having contractions. Contractions that I had felt many a times before while on a walk. So, I was not surprised to feel them again.
A year ago today the contractions subsided and we moved on to our next event.
A year ago today I was sitting at Grandma and Grandpa Fleischmann's pool side, celebrating Mother's Day, a day that I hoped to celebrate with you out of utero, but instead you chose to stay in just a little while longer to 'brew'. So I celebrated with your kicks and wiggles.
A year ago today I felt that "gush" that every woman who has experienced their water break felt. Oh what a feeling. I remember being afraid to stand up to get Daddy. Was it going to stop? Was it going to keep going? Did my water break or did I just pee my pants (honest to God possibility at that point.)?
A year ago today we finally knew that you were coming.
A year ago today Daddy and I ate dinner as a family of two knowing full well that by the next day we'd be eating dinner as a family of three.
A year ago today, we went home, dropped off your doggie, Finnegan and hit the road to the hospital.
A year ago today we knew that you'd be making your entrance into the world. Whether you came that night or the next day, you were my Mother's Day present, and I loved you already.
how awesome to have a family shot the very day you went into labor..thanks for sharing
