This time last year...

Yesterday I was thinking about the changes that have come to my life in the past year. On this day, one year ago, Seattle and Pittsburgh were playing in the Superbowl in Detroit. The youth group was having their first gathering to watch the game but, although I am a sponsor, I decided to stay home. Why? Glad you asked...I was about to have a baby!

I knew I was going to be induced on Tuesday morning so my mind was elsewhere. I did watch the game from my bedroom, but I had a million things on my mind. What would it be like once she got here? Was I prepared? Would I be a good mommy? Would the labor and delivery go ok? Did I leave anything undone at work? The list went on and on.

Pittsburgh wound up winning that night, which we were happy about since they beat our Colts in the 2nd round of the playoffs, and I was induced that Tuesday morning. However, I labored on until the next morning. Lilla was very obstinant about not wanting to come out, which is so hilarious because she is a stubborn baby, and they finally did a c-section at 7am.

For the next couple of days I'll be at my mom's while my husband is in Denver, so this story is to be continued...

Dun, Dun, Dun....

I'm ready to hear more of the story. I love that you are a football fan as well! Happy almost birthday, Lilla! My son, Noah, turned 1 last November. Are you having a first bday party?
