colin is nine.
today.
when did this happen? how did this happen?
our curly is nine years old.
it was just yesterday i was at millard fillmore suburban hospital in new york
anxiously awaiting the arrival of dr. bob.
i remember looking at the clock at 10am & having a full blown panic attack.
i'm sure it was the hormones.
i'm sure it was that i knew what the next couple days would be like.
i'm sure it was right after they said they wanted to put the foley in preop.
i'm sure it was because i wasn't at "my" hospital.
i'm sure i attempted to get up and leave.
i'm sure steve was there & talked me through it.
i'm sure it was a tuesday morning.
i'm sure this was just yesterday.
i'm sure this was yesterday.
wasn't it?
there are only snapshot images from my memory surrounding colins
wonderful arrival into this world.
anesthesia not lasting during my c-section, a reaction to something
that caused terrible itching, a semi-private room for 6 hours,
not seeing colin for the first 6 hours after he was born - not sure
why, getting a private room, walking to the bathroom but not able to
make it back to bed - so i sat & cried until someone found me - pca pump
& scds all still intact, nathan & justin coming to the hospital for a visit - one of
them just sat and colored a picture.
i don't remember leaving but i remember
steve having to settle up for my private room on the way out.
i don't remember getting home but i remember
it was a friday and it was cold & grey outside.
i don't remember any pain but i am reminded
everyday what a blessing you are!
happy birthday dude!
