The Day Before...

I've been really weepy today and I'm not sure why.  Maybe because I'm getting ready to "start" that time of the month or maybe it's because today was the beginning of the end for Jim, myself and Kenley.  Jim and I were thinking back to a year ago the other night and I remember this time very well.  We joined Barry and SuSu, good family friends, along with my mom and dad and a couple of other friends out for dinner to celebrate Barry's birthday. That was on Sunday night.  I remember being very uncomfortable that night.  She was completely vertical on the right side in my tummy and anytime I would sit down, she would get shoved up under my ribs which hurt.  Today was a normal day. (Monday)  I went into work that evening and even remember doing handstands as I was showing my girls how to do something.  I remember as I was falling asleep that night I got one small cramp in my tummy, which I look back at now and realize was a contraction.  Today was the first day of the rest of our lives...being turned upside down!  Tomorrow is the day I was admitted to the hospital.  Oh and believe I will be posting on that!


I'm not even sure what to say.  Only that I feel kind of sad.  For lots of reasons.  Sad that today was my last day of normalcy...EVER!!  Sad that as I think back, I couldn't keep her in longer.  Sad that I didn't get to have a normal pregnancy.  Sad that I put a HUGE kink in our lives.  Sad that my girl is about to be one and a whole year has already passed.  Today to me just feels like a sad day.  You have those sometimes.

I don't want to be Debbie Downer so I try to not dwell on it too much and looking at these sweet cheeks always makes me smile!

Last Thursday here was AWESOME!!  The weather was to die for and it was so warm that K was able to wear her pink tutu skirt and "I Love Rock and Roll" tank top she just got.  I haven't seen her in skirts much because its been so dang cold but now that its getting warmer out, all I want to dress her in is skirts.  They are too cute on her and something about her Buddha belly makes me grin from ear to ear!

You talkin' to me!?!?

She decided to start pulling her clothes out of her laundry basket...now if I could only teach her how to fold them then it would be all good!!!

I'll be interested to see how I feel when I wake up tomorrow morning...I wonder if I'll relive the entire day, hour by hour or if I'll only occasionally think about the events that happened throughout the day.   We shall see...til then...I'll just pass the time by kissing my sweet cheeks!!!
