Remembering

Just sitting here thinking back to the day Beckett was born and I'm not sure I ever wrote about how we felt that day, other than excited, of course. I remember when we went to the hospital that morning I totally didn't think I was in labour, so we weren't thinking anything other than how much it sucked that I had a kidney stone at this point in my pregnancy. The drive to the hospital was pretty brutal. I was pretty uncomfortable and remember feeling like it was taking forever for the light at the superstore to change from red to green. When we got to the hospital Bevan dropped me off at the doors to the ER and then went and parked the car. I went in and when I went to the desk to register, I told them I thought I had a kidney stone, but I think since I was pregnant they just sent me to the maternity floor anyways. You know the rest of the story...about how shocked everyone was - including the nurse - when the doctor said I was 4 cm. I guess when we got into the car to go home we were still thinking that it could be any length of time before the baby was actually born, so we were kind of freaking out, but not too bad yet! It was when we were leaving the house to go back to the hospital that afternoon that reality set it - the next time we came home we would have a baby with us!!! Wow!! That's a pretty crazy feeling, to leave the house as 2 people, but return as 3!!! Just wanted to make sure I recorded this, as I want to remember how life changing that moment really was!
