Remembering. Today I will think about all those hundreds of thousands of lives lost to give us the amazing lives we get to lead. For those that are still off fighting, leaving their families to teach, to bring safety and a new life to strangers.
I will also spend today remembering where we were this time last year. We were packing our bags to go to the hospital. We were waiting for the phone call to go to the hospital to be induced. I still remember that phone call- Nurse: Good Morning, is this Nadine? Me: Yes it is. Nurse: Are you ready to have a baby? Me: (very excitedly) Yes I am! Nurse: Have some breakfast and a shower and head on over and we'll get this going. Me: (now nervous): See you soon!
I remember pacing. I remember reading my book on what was about to happen for the 1000th time! I remember going out with Cory, just the two of us for the last time. I remember wanting to know what she looked like so bad. I remember be anxious. I remember cleaning. I remember praying she wasn't a big baby. I remember packing 5 outfits for her to wear home because I could pick one, they were all too cute. I remember having no idea. Having no idea how our lives were about to be forever changed.
