Half a Year

I can't believe it. 6 months have gone by so fast! Where has my time gone? I was thinking about it this morning and a year ago I was still telling people I was pregnant, I didn't know I was having a girl but was sure I was having a boy. I was still able to fit in to my version of my "skinny jeans". Those jeans have been pushed to a dark corner in my closet with the hope that I may one day fit in them again. I had not gotten toxemia yet but still felt swollen. Fast forward to April. I was given the threat of bed rest but was let off with a bed rest with perks. Meaning I could still go to work with the condition I keep my feet up and when I got home I had to stay very still the rest of the day. April 28 I had a doctor appointment where the doc told Nick that I would have the baby by the middle of next week and he was thinking about putting me in the hospital. I knew nothing of this till we got in the car. Thursday came and I thought my water had broken so off to the hospital we go. It didn't. But my doc came in and said now that you're here you are not going home. Next day I had a c-section and Sydney Jocelyn joined our little family. 5 days later we came home and started this amazing ride!! I have been more tired than I thought it possible to be and still function, hurt more than I thought I could stand after sweeping, cried for no reason other than I thought my daughter was getting to big to fast, cheered Sydney on as she rolled over for the first time, laughed when she discovered baby food, laughed harder when she had squash and thought it was the most vile thing on earth, cried more when she hasto get shots and so many other things. I am getting closer to being a size I am ok with so those jeans may make an appearence soon. All of this adds up to things I would never trade. I am having a great time so far.
