From Baby to Three

We have officially made it to Maddy's birthday week. In exactly one week she will be turning three! It seems just like yesterday I was in labor with her. I will never forget her birthday story and the emotions I was feeling that day. I will never forget the ride to the hospital wondering if we would ever get there. I remember when we did get there I just started crying...some emotions from labor some being scared to death of the IV I was fixing to get. I will never forget how God answered every single one of my prayers I had been praying for nine months, one which included the nurse getting the IV tech to numb me before putting the IV in. I will never forget the moment Maddy was born and how scared I was she wasn't going to make it. I don't know how long it really was, but it seems like they had to work on her forever before they finally got her to cry. Like most moms, I think back to the day she was born and all the events that transpired on her birthday. I find myself quite emotional the closer it gets to her birthday. Here's a look back...
