One Year Ago Today

Here I am...one year ago just as I was leaving for the hospital. My water broke, and despite my inner voice telling me to stay home, I listened to the doctor's office and went into the hospital to give birth. I was full excitement and joy here even though I was absolutely humongous and really uncomfortable.

As well as the excitement,I was full of uncertainty. I just knew that my body wasn't ready. If only I had listened to that voice inside of my head. Although, trying to labor at home with four other children wasn't something that I would have been very good at.

In case I don't have time to finish...everything turned out okay. Allyson and I made it. Our sweet baby girl ended up being a shoulder dystocia baby and because of her very rough delivery...let's just say it was a scary moment in time shall we?
