1 year ago today, I went into labour. Presley wasn't born until the 23rd but the 22nd is when things got rolling. All day I will be reminiscing. I will be thinking of last year when Samara and I went for hot chocolate and donuts, just the 2 of us, and walked around the mall while I had mild contractions. I will be thinking of how I was wondering if the doctor would be right with her prediction that the baby would be making an appearance within 48 hours. I will be thinking of how we were wondering if the baby would be a boy like everyone thought, or another beautiful girl. I will be thinking of how unsure I was if I was really in labour despite it being my second time. I will be thinking of how badly I wanted drugs and how there just wasn't enough time. I will be thinking of how excited I was to meet the little baby who was so forceful with kicks and punches in the womb. I will be thinking of the strength I didn't even know I had to have a natural birth. I will be thinking of my husband's proud face when he saw his daughter for the first time. I will be thinking of how complete our family felt as soon as Presley was placed in my arms.

Such amazing memories! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. Geez Presley, cuz out the growing so fast already!!!
I can't believe that it's been one year already! Presley, you are awesome!
Ah! I got goosebumps and tears.
I remember sitting here on my computer 1 year ago being insanely jealous that you were in labour and I was not.. little did I know, while you were holding your baby, I would be in the hospital waiting for mine.
Tomorrow is the big day, eeeppp!!!
I've been reminiscing a lot lately too! Can't believe how fast a year has gone by.
Love it! Goosebumps here too :)
That got me a little misty eyed. Sending lots of love and happy birthdays
I'm a birth story FANATIC. I LOOVE reading them! I super enjoyed reading both your stories this morning. It's funny how things dont' always work out like we think, but each journey is such a unique experience, something you can't REALLY plan for, and it works out just the way it should- meeting a beautiful babe!
I love spending the day reminiscing.
