Journal entry from one year ago today…
Just a normal Tuesday…
You came on a Tuesday. A Tuesday? You mean TODAY? Why not!? After a sonogram said you may be a very BIG girl on Monday, Dr. B had us come in on Tuesday and discuss this. Who knew that on a normal, clear sky, mild day in April, you would bless our lives with your arrival and change us forever. I told the school I was not coming back- EVER- and went home that morning to pack. Wait until 3:00- and don’t eat anything! All I could do was sit at home, bag packed, and think about my soon to be title of “mom.” What a feeling to be walking out that door at 2:45 knowing that THIS is the day we’d been waiting 39 weeks for!
Can I get some fries with that? PLEASE!!! I’m starving by this time! Promptly hooked up to machines upon arrival at the hospital to monitor every move for you and I, we then WAIT. Will I be a good mom? Will I know what to do? Will you arrive okay? ZOOM! BLUR! The anesthesia guy JEFF (my hero) is here! Hold very still… I’m going to stick this giant needle in your back. ZOOM! 12 people are in the operating room at this point. What a show! Strap my arms down- can you feel this? What about this? Where is Les? All dozen rushing around with their specific jobs. The curtain goes up for your big arrival on stage! There is Les- hooray!!! Numb! Blur! Can’t think…This is from 5:00-5:39 PM on beautiful April 3rd when you stole the show and our hearts by arriving via C-section. You were not quite as big as predicted, but who cares! You were here. Jet black hair, daddy’s nose, mouth, and toes. Here! Ours! Forever! You cannot describe the feeling of knowing you could not love something more! Love at first sight. Here… Ours…. Forever…. What do we do now????
One year has gone by so quickly!!!!!
