My baby is turning one today! I have to retell the incredible story of her birth!
It started on the 23rd. I had been leaking, or so I thought a lot. I went to the Dr. and he did an ultrasound to make sure I still had fluid. And, I did. So I took it easy, because my C-section was scheduled for the 29th. I didn't go to work at all on the 24th. Mainly I lazed around the house.
Later that evening, Parker & I went to Wendy's to get dinner. We brought it out to Grandma Rosie's, because Matt was scrapping cars with his dad & brother. Then at about 6:45 we drove into Gloria's Tumbling with Rosie & Riley, to pick up Bailey from work. On the way there I felt a little gush. I know, it's gross, but it is birth! When we got to Gloria's I had Rosie check my rear and sure enough, it was wet! As we were sitting inside waiting, I finally said, "I'm pretty sure my water just broke, because I'm soaked." We waited until everyone left and headed outside. Gloria gave me a towel to put between my legs. Then the contractions started to come. So, I told Rosie to drive me home to get my things and then take me to the hospital. On the way there, the contractions increased, so I said, "Forget it just take me to the hospital." She started freaking out because she didn't know what to do. Mind you we still had Bailey, Riley & Parker with us!
So when we got to the hospital, Bailey stayed in the car with Parker while Riley & Rosie took me up. When I got out of the car, I told Parker that it was going to be ok and that we were going to get her baby. She then asked me, "Did you pee your pants mom?" Too funny! Because we had just finished potty training with her!
About an hour later everyone in my family & Matt's familiy had arrived as did the Dr. & the c-section team. Finally at 10:22 pm we had a baby girl that weighed 6lbs. and 10oz. and was 18 3/4 in. long. We were so glad that she was here!

Wow how a year has passed! It went by fast. My little baby is now walking! We just had her 1 year pictures taken. They turned out great!

Happy Birthday Harper!!! What a cutie. I really like how you retold the story of her birth (because I never got to hear it the first time). I'll probably be a copycat when I post Kash's first birthday blog. :-) Wow, they grow up too fast. *Sigh*
Thanks for sharing this with us Lindy! We always enjoy looking at your site and keeping up with your family goings on. Beautiful girls. Hugs!
