Now it is a year later and all i can think of is the day she was born. Everyone tells you that the pain is worth it, you wont even remember the pain once that beautiful baby is in your arms, And I now know they were all right. 100% correct! I remember every single detail of August 24th 2010 but for the life of me i can not remember the pain at all! I remember the fear, the joy, the worrying of the unknown but most of all i remember the joy on my husbands face when he brought our little girl over to me still strapped to the c-section table. I remember the "Mommy High" that allowed me to move myself around when the nurses sat there in shock because apparently I should have been in to much pain to move! I remember I only got mad 1 time during the 3 day stay in Mercy Hospital. I got mad because they kept coming to get Tegan from our room and I wanted MY baby in MY room in MY arms! So I went to get her! :)
My Husband has been the most amazing father a little girl could ask for! The fathers of our nieces and nephew well lets just say they pretty much suck at life and when looking at Eddie, he may not always be picture perfect dad but as far as Tegan and I are concerned he is Father of the Year!!!! We are both very lucky to have him in our lives and we are both blessed with having him here everyday never leaving to go out with friends because he would rather be here with Tegan and I then anywhere else. And unless we are out of town racing for a long weekend (Which we dont take tegan along for) He spends every moment he isn't at work being a great dad, husband, son, brother, brother in law as well! He is amazing!! I am very lucky and so is Tegan!!
Well, Our baby girl is 1 today. And as i put her to bed with the usual singing of You are my sunshine followed by daddy rocking her and then putting her to bed, i can't help but remember what a looong night we had a year ago and how every second since then has been a gift from God and how I can't imagine my life without her!
