Ayear ago, on November 16, 2007 at 1:40pm, my dream came true. I gave birth to my sweet sugar Jack. I can't believe how quickly the last year has gone by. I remember the days leading up to his birth so clearly. The mixture of excitement and fear when my Dr. scheduled my induction. The very uncomfortable night before in the hospital. How so intently I watched the monitor to make sure his heart beat was staying consistant all night. The suprise at the amount of strength I found to bring this life into the world.(a man could never do it.) The complete and utter fear that ran through my head when I was told his heart rate was dropping and they had to do an emergency c-section. The tears from both Darrell and I when they delivered Jack. The moment the nurse told me Jack was okay. When they place this little tiny wrinkly bundle of blanket in my arms and those big baby blue opened up and looked right at me. And the moment I realize I was a mom. I look at him today and think how did this little tiny 6lb. person grow into such a big chunky monkey. Happy 1st Birthday Jack! I love you very much.
