Day 14 of 31 Six years ago

3/14/2019

Six years ago today, I said goodbye to my 2 year old son as my mom took him for a sleepover. His little sister was about to be born, but oh, it was so hard to say goodbye to him, even for a night, knowing things would be forever different.

Six years ago today, I double-checked that I had everything I needed for my hospital stay.

Six years ago today, my husband and I had dinner at a diner. I had a cheeseburger and fries- last indulgence as a pregnant lady.

Six years ago today, I was induced in the evening since my baby girl didn't seem to want to come out of her cozy growing place.

Six years ago today, I was so over the uncomfortable feeling of being pregnant and so anxious to meet my little girl.

Six years ago today, I didn't yet know the amazing daughter I would have, how many laughs we would share, how many cuddles, how she would fill my heart, just like her big brother already had done.

Six years ago today, it was almost time to meet my daughter.

Sometimes we don't know when a life changing event will happen to us, and then there are those times that we know that nothing is ever going to be the same. We tune in, and immerse ourselves in the moment. Thanks for bringing us back six years ago with you. A truly special eve for your family!

There are many life moments that we have no idea what life will truly be like after, and then have a hard time remembering what life was like before. I enjoyed your slice!
