Reminiscing

I don't drive past Central Dupage Hospital often (where Raegan was delivered), maybe once every other month or so. But every time I do, I can't help but to go back to the night Eric and I drove there after my water broke. I think I can remember it so well since I wasn't really in labor, just leaking (TMI??). We knew our lives were about to change, that was a given, but really, we didn't really realize just how much more love was about to be welcomed into our world. There was so much unknown. How would labor be for me, would Raegan handle it well, what did this little girl look like, what would life with her look like. 

Today I met some girlfriends up for lunch and drove the same route Eric and I took over a year ago. The same route that we took on a Wednesday night as husband and wife and the same route we took back on a Saturday afternoon as mom and dad. That day seems like such a distant memory most days.

I hope I never forget, never forget those feelings, those nerves, that excitement.
