On This Day Last Year...

A year ago today, Doug and I knew that it was our last day to be just a couple.  That night at midnight, we were going to the hospital for me to be induced.
Doug went to work in the morning and met me at the doctor's office.  I remember that visit being exciting, scary and painful all at the same time.  I was excited because this was the last visit before meeting our baby and finding out if we were having a son or a daughter.  I was scared because this was the last visit before meeting our baby! A nurse practitioner student checked me for dilation, and I was pretty sure she was checking my tonsils and hadn't clipped her nails in many months, hence the painful aspect.

I don't really remember doing much that day.  However, at that point in June in Mississippi, and being 9+ months pregnant, I didn't feel like going many places anyway.  The previous weekend we had gone to try and find a newborn size "My 1st 4th of July" onesie, to no avail.  However, trying to get in and out of the car was torture.  In fact, we went to the movies and the movie was going to be starting soon, so I told Doug to go and get the tickets and I'd waddle my way up there eventually.

That evening, we had dinner at home with my mom.  What we ate, I don't remember.  Then, I took a shower, shaved my legs as best as I could and double-checked the bags for the hospital.  I may have taken a short nap and then Doug and I made a video for our baby about how we were feeling the day before becoming parents.  We then left for the hospital.  Within 24 hours, our lives would change forever.
