This day will carry a whole new meaning for me now. It is a day of prayer, a day of silence, a day to remember all of those who have lost their lives in the tragic attacks against our country. I remember that day as if it were yesterday how could anyone do such a awful thing and how could any God let it happen? I never knew why and was always and still will be saddend by that day. Sat. September 11th 2010 I lay in bed watching the news of all the recaps of that awful day crying thinking what an bad day to have a birthday. Yes I was contracting thinking please let them go away I don't want my babe to share a day with this tradgedy, this day is for remembrance only, little did I know that my sweet little baby girl was well on her way. By 11:30 in the morning my contractions fizzeled out so I decided to go to fox River and do my elderly hair. It was around 2:30 that I was having some teeth grinding pains. I just smiled and thought to myself lets get all these ladies done and get home so by 4:30 that is what I did. I drove home with my white knuckles glued to the steering wheel from the pain(okay it wasn't to bad but it still hurt) pulled in the drive and waddeled my way to the bedroom where I laid for about 2 hours until Brad decided that the yard was good, the boys were ready, the car had gas, and his shower was taken, and Payton's "friend" of the male gender was gone, and that we could go to the hospital. GRRRRR My sister about scooped me up and took me herself. We got to the hospital and I was a good 5 so they kept me about an hour later I was a 6-7 and I decided that I was not superwoman anymore and opted for the epideral I was not in agonizing pain they were bearable but I just thought the last contraction was stronger enough that if they got stronger which I new they would some man sitting beside me shootin the sh@# with the nurse and my sister would have to pay dearly!! At 10:52 with three pushes my precious nameless baby girl was here. She just walked right out with no problem it was just like you would see on t.v. I looked down and scooped her up (with the help of the doctor) and she was placed on my chest and in an instant love was formed. It wasn't until later that I realized that this day would carry a new meaning. I would never forget the brave men and women of that day but I realized that life does go on and I will pass that day on to my new little one and we will have new memories to make on that day as we had already did. So with that never forget those lost but remember that life always prevails and goes on.
So I would like to introduce my sweet little baby girl
