14 years!
|
14 years ago today. Picture me young, tired, and very fat! While I was no longer in classes (I had completed the credits necessary to graduate with my class that coming May), I was still technically a senior in high school. Hubby (then just my boyfriend) was home from his nightshift job, sleeping. I decided to join him and take an afternoon nap. When I woke up I was in horror thinking that I had peed in the bed :blush: As I got up and made my way to the bathroom I realized that there was more than just piddle there! My water had broke, and the contractions were coming. I phoned the OB department, who told us to make our way into the hospital. My next moments were spent by waking up Duane, waiting on him while he got dressed, and watching him meticulously opening up and placing garbage bags over the seats of his camaro so that I wouldn't get them wet :snicker: We were finally on our way, though I did have to sit in the car while he stopped at the credit union to deposit a check, and at the local A &W to grab a couple burgers!! I sure was thankful that no-one stopped to knock on my window and say hello! LOL! Awwww, men! The good news is that I was, and still am, able to chuckle about it later ;-) We did finally make it to the hospital, and, as hubby will tell you, we had *plenty* of time to spare! That evening, at 9:44pm our first child, a sweet baby girl, entered our lives! She was beautiful then, and she is beautiful now! I thank the Lord for her, for that baby was the beginning of a string of events that eventually led both Duane and I to the saving grace of Jesus Christ! Here's my princess and I then:  and now:  Happy 14th Birthday Paige! You are a blessing to me each and every day! |
