5 Years Ago Today...

....was my due date with Haley Beth.

Oh how I longed to see her. Hold her. Breathe her in.

The world as I had known it, was falling apart around me. Closing in on me. She felt like my only hope.

I had thought she would come earlier. I went to the hospital 2 times thinking I was in labor. They kindly smiled at me...with looks of "Yeah right." I was released both times. Turns out the cramps I were having were caused by dehydration. So they gave me an IV and then told me to drink ALOT. And then told me "You will KNOW when you are in labor." Wow. Thanks. Looking forward to it.

I walked miles to no avail. I tried other "suggestions" as well....

I so desperately wanted to see these blue eyes....



But I would have to wait.....

I remember...
In some ways I feel the same way. I am so ready to hold Peyton and introduce her to her brother. I even look forward to those late nights and early morning because that may be our only alone time. I remember waiting for Tanner and now I can't even remember what my life was like without him.
