Four years ago, right now....I was awakened by my water breaking. And 15 hours later, my DD entered my world. It was all a blur. She was 7 weeks premature. I was scared and overwhelmed. The whole labor/delivery process was surreal to me. I'd heard her cry. I had a team of strangers doing all sorts of post-labor disgusting things to my body. I remember them bundling her up and she had that goopey ointment over her eyes. They showed her to me like a bottle of wine, as if presenting for my approval. She opened her little newborn slate blue/gray eyes and we looked at one another briefly. I said "okay" and she was whisked off to NICU. I put my head back down and tuned out as I wondered "What the HELL just happened???" and thought "Holy Crap. I'm a mother."
The past 4 years have been a roller coaster of the most intense highs, lows, unbelievable joy and blood curdling screams (LOL) I've ever experienced. I would not trade it for the world. Happy 4th Birthday, my baby girl!!

My son was also born early after my water broke suddenly. He's 31 now. It's not always easy being a parent but....what treasures our kids can be.
Happy Birthday DD!
