After trying to (unsuccessfully) sleep, trying to read a book, and looking up on Google what contractions and labor felt like, I finally woke Matt up around 1 a.m. and told him I thought we might need to go to the hospital. He kind of freaked out and started rushing around the closet packing some things and sped me off to the hospital. 7 1/2 hours later, Emily was born and our lives were changed forever.
I am so grateful to have this little girl in our lives. Although I complain a lot about my struggles with motherhood (I really thought that by 2 years into it, I'd have it figured out, but not so), I am grateful to be Emily's mom. That little smile melts my heart.
At 2 years old, Emily...
