Last year on this day....

Last year on the is day, it was my last day working at school. Well, I guess I was "working". I had a student teacher and was more like "monitoring from a chair" because I couldn't breath much less stand up for too long. At this point, even though it was the day before my official due date of the 22nd, I was still on the outside thinking that I would be back at work the following week because it was my first baby and first babies are always late right??? Well obviously I was wrong. I do think that a little part of me did know that I would not be back the following week because I remember staying at school until like 5:00 that night putting the finishing touches on all the things I needed (or thought I needed) to do before the baby came. It was a good thing I did that too...because little did know what would unfold a few short hours later. I would say at about 9:00 that night I was really uncomfortable. I had been for some time because I did have a 9lb 3 0z baby which made breathing quite a task but I was REALLY uncomfortable that night. I managed to doze off on the couch for awhile and woke up around midnight when the contractions began..............nearly 24 hours later I would meet my sweet princess.........
