Rett

Let's fast forward through this pregnancy. It was an exciting and stressful few months. Every little thing would scare us to death. I understand why because we had been through a rough time before. We went for a doctors appointment right near our due date on 12-27-12. We were so excited knowing she was close to joining us. Our doctor said that everything looked good and she wanted to induce soon on 12-31-12 to be exact. I was excited and a little bummed because I had rehearsed me speech of why we needed to induce before 2013. I was thinking tax return which would in return help pay the deductible. Yes I know that probably sounds awful, but I did not have to make my argument. We went home and enjoyed the last couple of days and tried to get some sleep.

We finally got the call around 6:30pm on 12-30-12 to come to the hospital. It was a nerve racking feeling walking in knowing that we were going to walk out +1. You have the entire pregnancy to somewhat plan in your head but it never really hits you until you make that trip. We ended up checking in and staying the night in preparation for delivery the next day.

I am going to tell you this, God knew what He was doing when He decided women would have the babies. That was an intense process. We ended up having a healthy baby girl at 2:19pm on 12-31-12.

All the prior heart ache we had seemed to disappear. Rett was here and she was all ours. I admit I gotta a little light headed when the nurse came in and said its time to push. I kept thinking of all the things I had to do. I thought about all the responsibility.

Everything changed when I held Rett. She looked into my eyes and it gave me a sense of calm. I knew that we were going to be just fine. But on a serious note, who knew something so small could have such gross diapers.
