Due Date

Today is October 1st. It is so hard to believe but you were due to be born one year ago today! This day last year was probably the longest day of my life. I was so anxious to meet the little person that had been kicking me for months, the sweet soul that was making those ugly lines on my belly. The cute beer belly baby I saw on my ultrasound twenty or so weeks prior...but you didn't come. You made Mom and Dad wait and wait...and wait. This day will always have a special place in my heart. It is the day I longed for for 9 months. It is the day I counted down for from 260. It is the most anticipated day of my life. Even more so then my wedding day, I think. I definitely counted down the days until my wedding but it was a different sort of anticipation...pure excitement. October 1st was a day I was excited for but I was also nervous, anxious, emotional, scared, happy, sad...you name it, I was feeling it! Little did I know, October 1st would not turn out to be the best day of my life. That wasn't until a few days later...
