I Woke Up This Morning
5 years ago
my water had just broke
i sat straight up in bed
nudged my husband and said
"i think its time"
i stood up
scurrying for towel
changed my jammies
and started gathering our oldest toys
{at the time he was in l♥ve with these little action figures
every night we would gather them up and put them in the truck...
just to be safe and prepared
not so much this time...}
the day prior
i had my appointment
begging my doctor
is there anything we can do
he laughed and said your still 2 weeks away
but i am oh so ready
well baby is not
go home, maybe walk, have a beer, take a bath...relax
my oldest and i left
we went to the mall
walked for what seemed like forever and a day
finally his poor little legs couldn't take anymore
mama can we go home now
we made our way
relaxed outside
papa came home
i said i was going to take a bath and just go to bed
i am really tired
no toys had been packed
though all bags waiting patiently in the car
if only i knew the surprise my one had
be careful what you wish for
you know what they say
even before conceiving
i knew in my mind
this time
i wanted all the surprises
the experience and excitement
of life happening on its own
{my first i was 2 1/2 weeks over due...induced}
we woke our little one
all in the car
made our trek down to the hospital
{40 min drive...crazy i am}
i will never forget the look on my childs face
me in a wheelchair
he by my side
half smile...half i don't know what the heck is happening look
by this time now
as i sit here and type
i was about a 6 or 7
labor was going quite smoothly
and all in a blink of an eye
9:25am
one wee little baby made his presence known
and soon my doctor was handing me
a beautiful screaming boy
its hard to believe
5 years
has gone by
how much he has grown
~Happy Birthday To My Wee Little One~

What a sweet remembrance. I remember my labours with both of my little ones and cherish those moments. With my second, time was of this essence as well. Makes it interesting, and certainly exciting! Happy birthday.

I saw it happening! My eyes were as wide as your those of your oldest child while he experienced some of the miracle. Poetic non fiction is the best!
