Memories :)

I'm sitting here on July 23rd, and I am just overwhelmed with memories of where I was last year at this exact time. I remember vividly when my water broke at 6:00 pm, Kenney, was getting ready to go ride his bike and I remembered saying to him before he left "I'll call you if my water breaks!". Little did we know that that would actually happen. It was hilarious, I was calling him non stop, he couldn't hear anything since he was cycling on Mann Rd., then when he got home he came to a house full of people waiting on him to get there. It was scary, exciting and very funny. When we got to the hospital, I called my mom (who lived in Ohio at the time) to start heading over here. So they did the test to see if my water broke and said "Nope, you just had a bladder spasm, go walk for a half hour and we'll re-check you", well, I was so upset because I kept telling the nurse, I'm sure my water broke, I think I'd know if I peed myself! So, I had to call my mom back and say, "Nevermind, it's just a bladder spasm". So she turned around and went home. Well, after I walked for a little while they checked me again, and Voila! I was right, I had broken my water, so I had to call my mom again (who had JUST gotten home), and tell her to come back again! I felt so bad, but it was well worth it. After 43 hours of labor, most of which didnt hurt at all, because he was wedged somewhere, little Harrison was delivered via C-Section into this world, and we fell in love instantly. It's amazing what the last year has brought. Harrison is such a blessing. He makes every day and every moment in my life special. Just the smallest things that he does, it just melts my heart. He started recently making this noise with his mouth, I'm not sure where he got it from, or if it's like a kissy noise, but he does it all the time, and it's just precious. I just find it so amazing how fast this last year went. I remember thinking, man, how are we going to do this? And trust me, we've had our ups and our downs, but having Harrison has brought Kenney and I closer than we ever have been before.

He's just the greatest little guy ever made, not that I'm bias whatsoever :) Well, that's really it, I just was drifiting down memory lane, and wanted to tell Harrison's labor story over again because it was hilarious how he came into the world. Hope everyone is well, and I'll post pictures from his birthday this weekend!

P.S. Here are some pictures from this past weekend of my brother and his wife Mandy (who's due August 8th), and some of Harrison at the arts garden. Have a good one!
