12 years ago today, I was in our new house. We had closed and moved in July 4th. I had taken vacation on the 25th. While first borns are never born on time, I wasn't risking driving through Summer time Tunnel traffic from Virginia Beach to Hampton. The pool guy came to get the pool levels ready to open and I had a pot roast in the oven.
By 9pm we were on our way to the hospital. I was strep B positive and once I "sprang a leak" I knew we had to go. Baby had to be born within 24 hours of my water breaking, He wasn't even close to ready.
At 4:30 am they stripped the membranes. At 6am I got pitocin. by 7am I was having full blown contractions, 2 minutes apart, lasting 45 secs... I wasn't dilated at all. After 4 hours, I changed my birth plan and asked (begged) for an epidural. Got that at about 1:30.
At 4:30 pm, July 29th, 2003, I became a Mom.
Most. Amazing. Thing. Ever.

You are the love of my life, The one who showed me what unconditional love is really all about. I am amazed every day with the person you are. Funny, Smart beyond belief, witty and an inspiration to try harder and be better.
Happy 12th!
