A Year Ago Tonight …
A year ago tonight I was pacing the floors while everyone slept, rubbing my contracting belly so much and so hard that I got a rash on my arms and palms. I paced the floors nearly at night until 6 in the morning when I begged Jeff to take me to the hospital.
My contractions began earlier in the day, no doubt in response to the stress from the wreck that my niece and nephews were involved in.
The horrible accident marked a year of tragic events for our family. My sister-in-law Pam emailed me tonight and said they were celebrating New Year’s Day today, in faith believing for a better year to come. I’ll drink to that! (well, you know what I mean …)

911
We picked up Grammy from the airport tonight. She is going to spend a couple of weeks with us and be here for the baby’s birthday.
On the way home, she was playing with Grammy’s cell phone and Mom said, “I hope she doesn’t dial 911.”
A second later, she dialed 911! Mom grabbed the phone and closed it, and we were all screaming and laughing, but a few seconds later she got a call from the 911 call center. She didn’t want to answer it! Jeff and I were like, you’ve got to answer it!!!
She did and apologized and told them what happened. They were nice about it. Mom hopes she doesn’t get a bill.
Lesson learned. No more cell phone time until she’s 13!
