5 years ago. . . .

5 years ago I was counting down the days til my baby girls arrival. . .and I thought every day was the day she'd arrive!

5 years ago I had my hospital bags packed!

5 years ago her nursery was ready. . .and I was sporting flip flops :)

5 years ago I walked with one foot on the curb and one on the ground thinking that might start labor.

5 years ago I drove my car over bumpy roads thinking that might start labor.

5 years ago I worked out on the elliptical machine every day thinking that might start labor.

5 years ago I had longer hair and spent time straightening it :)

5 years ago I ate a lot of bagels with cheese and apples with pb.

5 years ago I was wearing my lightest clothing to doctors appts, and asking them if they seriously needed me to step on the scale. . .couldn't they tell I was still pregnant?

5 years ago I thought I could maybe do it without an epidural :) How bad could it be?

5 years ago I had no idea I'd be induced 11 days late and my October baby would be a November baby!

Now 5 years later,

I had to laugh when I found the above pic of my pregnant belly at 15 wks (blue tank top). . seriously, what a little baby bump! Maybe I need to be 15wks pregnant again :)ha I'm just kidding babe!

One of my all time favorite Little A pics, is one I took after she spent the morning at home with daddy. . . maybe this explains her love for sneakers like her daddy, even with a dress :)

And onto my next post. . .our almost 5 year old Ainsley girl today. . .
