Happy Birthday Addyson

June 19th 2007. My day started off at 2:30 am when my water broke. I woke Brandon up and we excitedly went to the hospital (Addie was already one week late). We waited until it was a decent hour to call my parents since we were in Jacksonville Florida and they were 3 hours behind us in Utah. We called at 8:00 am our time 5:00 am their time. I figured my dad would be up for work, but we woke him up oops! After a few more hours of labor Addyson's heart rate dropped and at Noon they started talking about a c-section. After we called everyone Brandon went in to get dressed and I was in the OR room getting ready for an epidural. When suddenly Addie's heart rate dropped way too low. They told Brandon he couldn't come in. People started running around, they put something in my IV and I was out. at 1:23 pm my beautiful daughter was born. I woke up in a room all alone wondering what had happened. Finally I was reunited with my family. It was such a wonderful day.

Here it is one year later and I couldn't be happier. Addyson is such a joy to be around. I entered Addyson's art work in an exhibit at the library, and today they had a ceremony to honor the kids. They all got a certificate and some paints. Addyson was the youngest artist there. Her art work is hanging in a store down town. We plan on going to the park today and having a special dinner for her birthday.

Happy First Birthday Addyson, Mommy and Daddy Love you.
