4 months ago today...

4 months ago today, at 12:15 am, my water broke.



4 months ago today, a little person, now known as Kayla Marie, was giving me the worst back labor pains I could have ever imagined.



4 months ago today, a midwife challenged me of all people to push my baby out in 5 pushes.



4 months ago today, at 10:16 am, Kayla was welcomed into the world by one too many people in the delivery room. :)



That day, 4 months ago, didn't go as I planned or wanted it to go.  But I wouldn't change that day for a second.



Today, 4 months later, I have a daughter who makes me so proud already.  The smallest things can make you proud of your child:  being able to fall asleep on their own without a binky and without you rocking them to sleep, rolling over no matter how uncoordinated, tracking anything and everything that catches their eye, whether it is you or the black and white dog.



4 months ago today, I would never have guessed that someone's little giggle could fill my heart with so much joy and love that nothing else matters.
