ONE YEAR AGO TODAY

One year ago today I was up early. Shower, shave legs touch up the toe nails.
One year ago today we parked at Patti and Greg's house and walked up to St Joseph's Health Care, for a last stitch effort that it would induce natural labor.
One year ago today natural labor never occured.
One year ago today my water was broken by a doctor for the first time.
One year ago today went into labour. Hard and fast!
One year ago today I was stupid and answered "No" when the nurse asked if I would like an epidural.
One year ago today I screamed like I have never screamed in my life.
One year ago today I saw fear in David's eyes.
One year ago today, 2 hours and 55 minutes after my water had been broken, Ruby June Armstrong entered our world. A whopper at 8 lbs, 13 oz.
One year ago today I told David that Ruby was the last baby I would ever deliver.
One year ago today we were both relieved, happy, thankful and humbled.

We are so happy we had you.

Today we celebrate you Ruby on your first birthday away from our family and friends in Canada. Instead we toast you with our new friends in Romania. David, Cindy and Brittany, Sacchin, Payal, and Sacket, Doiina and Costel, Nelly, Gabriella, Semona and Alex.

We are so happy you chose us.

Happy Birthday baby girl

Love Mommy xxxxx
