One year ago today...

was Lily’s due date. From early on, around 4 weeks pregnant, the date October 9th was cemented in our brains as the day our baby would arrive. We knew the chance of our baby arriving on this date was less than 2% but nonetheless it was still our due date. As October 9th approached so did our feelings of excitement and nervousness. We were ready to meet our new baby and find out if the baby was a Lily or 1 of 4 boy names we had but couldn’t decide on. But…Miss Lily had other plans. She was content in her warm and quiet environment. She didn’t want to arrive on Oct. 9th. Nor the following day or the day after. Lily was 11 days overdue…and we still had to be induced! One year ago today we were wondering what our lives would be like in a year. Now we know we have a beautiful baby girl that brings so much happiness to our lives every day, every time we look at her.
