2 years ago...

I don't remember what kind of cereal I bought, but I distinctly remember being in the cereal aisle two years ago today. It had been a long day. I had planned on working, but after my dr appt first thing in the morning she wanted me to go in for an ultrasound and since they could get me in around lunchtime I decided to just go ahead and do that and not work that day. I went to babies r us and got a few things I was still needing, and then I went for the ultrasound. The child inside me was not in a favorable position for delivery...actually her sweet little head was crammed up into my ribs (explained some of the discomfort!) and so I knew my chances for a no medication vaginal delivery were out the window. I knew they would be calling to set up a c-section. On my way home I stopped at Walmart to get groceries, a weekly ritual around here and I was in the cereal aisle when they called. I thought they would schedule maybe in a week...but that call stopped me in my tracks, right there in the cereal aisle. I needed to be at the hospital at noon the next day my c-section was scheduled for 1 pm. I did stop for a second. Everything I'd ever known about life would be different in less than 24 hours. And then I finished shopping and went home, excited, terrified, freaking out about being sliced open, and then freaking out about being a mommy. Two years later, she's peacefully sleeping and I have tons of housework and a birthday cake that needs decorated (but its baked...YIPEE!)
