My Life has Changed

       Two weeks before I was due, I was driving to the grocery store and it dawned on me…. I will never be able to come and go as I please again.  My heart started pounding and my palms got sweaty.  Two weeks passed and I was still pregnant with no signs of contractions at all.  My belly just kept growing and growing….. 
The Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Cream supply was dwindling.

         On July 29^th, 2010 (two weeks AFTER my due date), my hubby and I welcomed the most precious being into this world.

 I knew right then that my life was forever changed. 

      Now, my heart still pounds and my palms stay sweaty, but for a different reason.

I don’t want to miss a second.

I don’t want to cause her any pain.

I want her to be the happiest and healthiest person possible.

(I'll save the labor story for another blog).

#1 ~ The moment I realized I was a grown up.

Grandollin and Grandpa

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about them.  Almost every childhood memory that I have was with them in some way and I miss them both dearly.        

       Grandpa was gone in September ’09, I found out I was having a baby a month or so after.  He would have been so happy for us.  I wish Amelia could have met him because he would have loved her so much.

       I am very thankful that Grandollin got to meet her.  She kept saying “She’s really going to town on that bottle,” when we came to visit and Amelia was chowwing down.
