One year is a long time to Squink

Happy Birthday Little one!

Oh my I just realized

One year ago today my water broke, I was in heavy denial btw...
I had no idea I would spend a week in the hospital laying in wait for a "blessed event"... I think I bonded more with a pre-born Squink at that time than before.
I remember being terrified and scared and excited.
I still will never forget how awful it was when the nurse in the OB triage said..."well it looks like you are going to have a baby tonight"... I think that is as close as I have ever come to being histerical... I started crying and said no, it will be premature. I think that freaked her out too.
Goodness, no wonder I am so behind... I have been out of practice for a couple of years.

Out of commission for a bit... we are hosting Christmas dinner, we have not really planned anything and we have not bought any of the food... much less christmas presents for anyone either.... except for my secret santa at work... and my youngest nephew.

I will be back soon.

The question:

The answer:
1) meeting someone that was born in another country and has a certificate of birth abroad,
2) volunteering,
3) a cupcake with buttercream frosting,
4) a pretty wildflower,
And most importantly;
5) My son!

I think this goes into my list of favorite posts I have read.

The one thing I knew he had of mine and it is going away...

Whether you were a drama freak or an emo poet, you definitely were expressive and unique. You're probably a little less weird these days - but even more talented!

I don't feel 37

Happy birthday to me!
