April 30th, 2014

In less than an hour, my alarm will go off to wake me (even though I’ve been up for hours).  I’ve got a pretty good reason to get up at 4:15am today- the birth of my daughter.

In the last twenty six months, I’ve been pregnant for seventeen of them.  I’m ready to meet my girl.
I’m nervous, anxious, scared, and excited.  I’m also calm and peaceful.  I keep thinking how everything that I’ve been through has brought me to this moment, and what a wonderful moment it is.
