A year ago tonight, I was in a frantic nesting mood. Even though I wasn't scheduled for a c-section for another 10 days, I had a feeling that our little one was about to make an early arrival. I was working from home at the time, so I was trying to get everything in order. I sent my last email to work around 11:30 pm that night. I included my hours for the weekend "just in case."
When I woke up a couple of hours later "not feeling right," I wasn't completely surprised. When the contractions first started, I was in a state of denial of how strong they actually were. I was hoping they were braxton hick contractions or that like my labor with Allison, things would move along slowly. By 4 am there was no denying I was in full labor and October 13 was going to be our lucky day.
We arrived at the hospital at 5 am and our bundle of joy arrived at 7:01 am. It is hard to believe it has been a year already.
On Saturday we celebrated Amelia's birthday with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We had a great time and needless to say, Amelia was not shy about digging into her cake. I will post pictures soon.
