One year ago, today...

in Parenting after 35

...was my due date. The day came and went with no baby.

One year ago, tomorrow, I went in for an ultrasound (to check baby's weight and head size) then they sent me over to the hospital for my non stress test. While I was laying in the hospital bed, hooked up to the monitors, I realized that I was having contractions. I had been having them for weeks, but here they were registering on the machine. Next thing I know, I felt a trickle. Then another. I lifted my leg and asked my DH to look and see if my jeans were wet (tee hee). His reply, "Ummm... no, oh wait - holy sh!t, yes!"  After a short debate (I was scared I had peed my pants) we called in a nurse. I got up to go the bathroom and my water gushed. It was official. I was having a baby. The next morning, after labouring for fourteen hours and having the scare of my life, our little girl came into our world and changed everything.

I'm just thinking about those days leading up to meeting Sydney. Sorry, I am (again) feeling very sappy. I will be spending the next couple of days a little day dreamy. Bear with me... ;)

    Day dream away! :) It's such a sweet time to think about!

    I was holding Logan last night after his bottle and he was asleep. DH and I were talking about when he was born. I understand being sappy. :)

    Can you believe it's been a year. All of those memories just come flooding back. I was so far from having a baby on my due date that when the one year anniversary of it came up, I didn't even notice.

    I love to hear these Sappy stories. It is a right we have earned through Motherhood. 

    I have been feeling a little guilty for not really planning an elaborate B-day party for T.  I realized yesterday that so far for all my DDs I have planned a total of 46 Bday  parties or get togethers.  So I am going to give myself a little break. 

    Hope you have a good week!

    Wow! You have planned 46 birthdays? Um, yeah... you deserve more than a break - you deserve a medal of some sort!

    We aren't doing anything elaborate. Just close family. No theme. Just a bite to eat, cake and ice cream and lots of hugs and kisses.

    I totally relate. When Matt turned one I made everyone listen to the birth story. I remember at one point my mom tried to get up while I was in the middle of some excruciating detail and I made her sit down until I was finished.

    It is such an unbelievable moment - life changing. Of course it is going to weigh heavily on you.
