Happy Birthday My Little Girl

Ahhh the memories. Three years ago I went to bed hot, tired, and very pregnant (I was HUGE while pregnant. People either thought I was going to go in to labor that moment or that I was having at least twins). I awoke a couple hours later the the beginning of labor. Something I dreamed about for years was finally becoming reality.

After trying a bath, walking around, etc I woke DH and said I think we'd better get to the hospital. To be honest, I don't think I even had a bag packed:) I wasn't technically due for another 2 weeks. Called the sitter, who at 1145pm was on her way home from a night out with the girls, and we were on our way. I'll spare you all the rest of the details but let me just say that male nurses are CLUELESS!! At 1232PM (as in, the next day!! 12 hours later,) our baby girl was born. It was an amazing moment. And really, I didn't even break a sweat. That was fine b/c the 8.5 hours prior to me getting the epidural, I sweat, puked, and well you get the idea, enough to last me a last time. (well till Memorial Day when I was puking sick again) Back on track....

So yes, our baby girl is going to be THREE tomorrow. Here are some pics:

More pictures to come after the party. Nothing real big. MIL is still gone, FIL is still in hospital with no plans of being released. My BIL and SIL are coming and my parents. That will be just fine. I'm so glad my B and SIL can come. They mean a lot to us and we are thankful they are an active part of our lives! Two of Miss A's cousins may come too. Oh and be for-warned Miss A got bit by a mosquito on the cheek bone, it caused her eye to swell. While it's looking better, as in you can almost see her lower eyelashes, it now is all bruised looking. Poor thing. Her 3 year old pictures will have that:) Such is life.

Stay tuned for more pics! I'm off to bed. I did 20 bags of corn (froze it) which was 88 ears of corn that were picked, husked, blanched, cut the corn off the cob and bagged! I have pictures:)
