It's 1:00 right now. Last year at 1:00 on June 27, I was eating lunch at my desk. A few minutes after I got done, I stood to go to the bathroom and my water broke. I spent 30 minutes going from my desk to the bathroom to check the pad I put on to check for fluid. At 2:15, I was pulling up to the hospital, all smiles and ready to meet my LO. I had no idea then what an adventure I was about to take, or the depth of love I would feel for another human being.
I am sitting here reminiscing and can almost feel the nerves, excitement, fear and doubt all over again. I can't stop the tears from falling down my face. I'm going to be a mess tomorrow.

I want to go back and read it, but it's probably the most emotionally-charged thing I've ever written. I don't think I can do it. I even had the NICU nurses crying. haha
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Luckily, mine just trickled. There was very little on the pad in the 30 minutes I waited. I honestly had to convince myself that I hadn't peed.
