One year ago today, Greg and I were driving home from school while I finally determined that I was having contractions all day at school. Unbeknownst to me, those pains that I had all day were contractions and labor had started! Looking back, the first contraction was around 5:30 am when Greg was in the shower getting ready for work. I didn't tell Greg until we were pulling into my school and I had had 2 more contractions on the way up. Obviously, taught all day and told my principal that I wouldn't be in school the next day because I wasn't feeling so well. DUH! At home, we called Mom and Dad and told them to stop by and pick up Sydney in case we had to go to the hospital that night. The night went on as usual, we hung on the back porch in the spring sunshine, made and ate tacos together, cleaned up, went for a walk around the block, came home, showered, watched TV and went to bed to see what the night would bring. As we lied in bed around 9-9:30, we talked and decided that the contractions were getting erratic and tough. As Greg loaded up the car, I waddled around the house making sure all was in order and tried to calm myself down, this was it! All I vividly remember was Greg telling me what he was doing, what was going to happen, and telling me that he was putting my shoes on, getting my jacket, going to sit me in the front seat and I just kept on saying, "OK, Uh-huh, OK, Uh-huh......."  Into the car we went, flying down 17 towards the hospital and we got there sometime around 10 (I think?). Just in time! We were 8 cm and ready to get comfy and meet our baby!

Wow! What memories that story brings, tear tear. Love, love , love, love, love our little girl.
