3 short years

I have been thinking a lot about where I was 3 years ago today. It was WA's official due date and he was still highly content on the inside. I was peeing constantly, had no room for anything larger than an apple, was exhausted and had just started maternity leave. I was huge, it was hot and my in-laws (whom I love) were staying with us in our two bedroom condo in Hoboken. Needless to say never in my life have I wanted to check in to a hospital more than I did then. That afternoon we went to my OBGYN for a final check-in and he offered to induce, as he was just about to go away for the 4th of July weekend and I was already 5cms dilated. We really loved my doctor and wanted him there for the birth, so we debated the offer a bit. Ultimately we chose to let nature take it's course. Stupid, stupid, stupid. One week later and WA was still happily doing the backstroke on my bladder, I was ten times more irritable, my Mom would literally jump out of her seat every time I called to pass the time and my in-laws needed to get back to Ohio. That was then and now, when I look at my self proclaimed "handsome" boy, I can hardly believe 3 years have already passed us by.
