Happy Birthday Meghan

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!!

I can't believe my baby girl is turning 7 tomorrow. I feel like it was just yesterday I was pregnant with her and getting ready for the big day. I look back over the last 7 years and I am truly blessed to have such a beautiful, loving, smart little girl to raise.

I remember Tuesday September 24, 2002 very well.....I stayed home from work that day because I didn't feel well. I decided to go to my OB appointment and be checked before I headed to work, so I took the day off and got plenty of rest and some house cleaning done. I had my OB appt around 3pm that day and went to the appt alone. I told Rob to hang out by the phone just in case he was needed. I was checked at my appointment and was told I was 2cm dilated and 90% effaced and she was at zero station (which I guess means she had not moved down yet). The worst part of the checkup was when I was told I would probably have another week to go. I was told to check back the following Tuesday for a stress test and then we would go from there. As I was leaving the parking lot I called Rob and told him to hold on and I would go to the Vet appointment with him and the dogs. During the Vet appointment the Vet asked when I was due and asked if I wanted to have her that day. I said I would love to have her that day, but was told I wouldn't. He did a little meditation and hand movement around my body and then told me I would have her at 11:30pm that night. Rob and I thought the guy was a little crazy and laughed about what happened at the Vet. We went home and ate chili dogs and oreos for dinner (really healthy huh!!) and I told Rob I still wasn't feeling well. I got up and went to the bathroom and my water broke!!! We arrived at the hospital after 7pm that night and my parents arrived shortly after we did. Long story short my baby girl arrived at 11:31pm that night !! We had already told the nurses, doctor and my parents about what the Vet did and said!!! Meghan weighed in at 7lbs and was a beauty from day one!!!!
