This time 3 years ago John and I were visiting with our friends Nate and Leslie... John and Nate had been up all night the night before. They, along with other friends made a video the day and night before for the Minneapolis 48 hour film festival!
At about 10:30 PM on a Sunday night, Nate, John, Leslie and I were sitting in their living room eating McDonalds... when I laughed at something - suddenly, I felt a small gush - went to the bathroom and quickly realized that MY WATER BROKE! I was a week early - my due date was the following Sunday. My water actually broke on their chair... they still have the chair :-) I did not actually leave a mark on their chair :-)
By 2:00 AM the same night I was in a triage room in the maternity wing at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park. John was by my side sleeping :-) I lay there while my mind flooded with thoughts... Thankfully my labor was not painful until later the next day. The following Monday morning at 9:30 AM I was induced because my labor was not progressing on it's own. The stuff works great!
By 1:42 PM on Monday, June 6th, (2005) Sadie Elizabeth came into this world!! At 6 pounds 12 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Never did I think I could fall in love with someone so quickly.
Three years later, I am still amazed by God's grace and goodness. He blessed me with a Daughter who has made me a Mother and an all around better person. In many ways, Sadie has taught me more than I have taught her...
HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY BELLA BUG!
