One year ago today...

A little flashback - On September 9th of last year, I waddled my way into my 29 week check-up. It was a normal weekday morning and I was going into the office after my appointment. However, these babies had different plans even in utero because my doctor discovered that I was having preterm labor symptoms - dilating and having contractions 3-5 minutes apart. I was immediatly admitted to Labor & Delivery where I was given steroid shots in both legs, and was told I would remain for the duration of the pregnancy. And so there I sat on modified bedrest for the next 5.5 weeks until our baby girls were born. All I had with me that morning was my maternity business suit I was wearing! So it was up to Rob to go home and pack all my clothes and necessities to bring up to me. He would do my laundry every week and bring me any food I would ask for - it was really cute. And Lindsay was a lifesaver by packing up all my work files and laptop to set up my "hospital office" - working from my hospital room kept me sane all those weeks! I still am super appreciative to all of you who came to visit me throughout my stay - family, friends and co-workers. All of your prayers, thoughts and gifts were truly a blessing for Rob and I.

Here I am on that fateful day, all hooked up to the monitors.

My home for almost 6 weeks.
