Whew! It's been awhile. Seven months to be exact. It's crazy how quickly time has flown - the fastest in my life. I guess it's because every minute of every day is filled with taking care of this little babe or thinking of taking care of this little babe. Leighton Hope was born at 12:07 a.m. on Saturday, July 30. She weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces and was 20 inches long. It was quite the journey to have her and quite the journey to welcome her to the world. Our birth story isn't what I thought it would be, but I went into it not being set on a certain path. I was open to whatever our birth story would entail as long as we all survived. Our due date was July 20 and that day passed and some more days passed and so we set an induction date of July 29. My last day of work prior to maternity leave was July 28. I worked right up to the date, because I felt great, and it made the days fly by instead of it being a waiting game from sun up to sun down. On July 29 we got our games faces on, packed our bags, of which we needed hardly any of it.
