One year ago, today....(part 1)

One year ago today, I was excited. I was still 18 days from my due date with our little "surprise." The anticipation is so much fun...who was this little guy going to be? Who would he look like? What would labor be like this time (I was praying it would be nothing like Nathan's!). Would I finally have the chance to experience an epidural? We were busy finishing Emma's new room downstairs, finishing the bathroom downstairs, starting swimming lessons, and keeping up with an active 17-month-old.

Maybe it was the contractions I'd been having since about 19 weeks...

Maybe it was all the physical work I'd been doing lately (painting 2 bedrooms, painting a bathroom, moving furniture, landscaping our empty yard, etc.)...

Maybe it was just a gut feeling....literally...

Whatever it was, on June 3rd, one year ago, I had convinced my wonderful Mom to start driving over here. She wasn't planning on coming until around the 10th. We planned on getting her here, getting her settled, and having at least a week to finish the baby preparations together. And FINALLY, she was going to be able to be in the delivery room with me. That was a definite!

One year ago, today...my wonderful Mom was busy making last minute preparations, so she could start the long drive tomorrow. Stay tuned for the rest of the story!
