where were you a year ago?

We were here.

Welcoming our baby girl

to the family.

What I remember most about this day:

.

-Mom arriving from the airport at about 12:05 am, just in time for me to go into labor at about 12:30 am.

.

-Getting poked twice for an epidural that virtually stopped my labor and numbed me from the waist up, rather than from the waist down.

.

-5 hours of labor followed by the most painful, most incredible

30 minutes of my life.

.

-Watching our baby girl come into this world.

.

-It was love at first sight, and we've all been smitten ever since.

Happy Birthday, Liddy Lou!

She's so stinkin' cute! One already!

I can't believe your mom arrived just 25 minutes before you went into labor! WOW!

Happy Birthday, Miss Liddy!

I love these b&w photos! What a beautiful post.

(I had the numbing-up-rather-than-down effect, too...so fun)
