I was almost 8 months pregnant and was puffed up to the size of a small hippopotamus...seriously...70 pounds of weight, baby, and fluid on top of my regular weight. Woah.
I was trying to sleep at night but could not due to the excruciating numbness in my arms and legs. I was forced to sleep sitting up in the overstuffed chair in the living room.
I was worrying and thinking about my doctor's appointment tomorrow (Feb 18th) and wondering if the baby was still doing okay even though I wasn't.
I was preparing for my 5th non-stress since I'd been put on bed rest back in January due to preeclampsia.
This time last year I was totally unprepared for what the next 24 hours was going to bring...
On this day last year I had no idea that in less than 24 hours, I was going to be told that I was toxic and my baby had to be delivered soon.
This time last year I was experiencing my last day of being pregnant. Sydney was on her way, whether she liked it or not.
What an amazing year this has been!
And as we prepare to celebrate an entire year with our God-given miracle, I reflect on how much we've learned, grown, and changed.
This time last year I was an entirely different person physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
6 pounds 4 ounces of absolute joy was preparing to come into our lives...
this time last year.
