Vatican City

     On 4/18 {last Saturday} Aaron, my parents, Connor, and I drove to Rome. We left first thing in the morning, and arrived at our hotel around noon. While we were waiting for the shuttle, we ate a quick lunch and bought our tickets for a guided tour around Vatican City.
 Almost there!

Connor's 2nd Birthday Party

     Yesterday we celebrated Connor turning two, and boy was it special day for him! It started with my father-in-law surprising us and showing up at our house. Connor loved playing with him while we got ready for his party.

Connor's 2nd Birthday

  Happy Birthday to my favorite little guy!
    I am in love with his birthday shirt from Vicarious Clothing.
     We had a pretty laid back day today since his birthday fell on a weekday. However, this weekend we will be ready to party with his Memaw, Pepaw, and our Italy friends. I wanted to document his birthday, so here is how his day went:

729 Days

My sweet Connor,

     I can't believe that 729 days ago I was 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant with you. I was working the night shift in the NICU when I started feeling like I needed to sit down and take a break. I had been having problems with my blood pressure, so one of the nurses checked it.  It was really high, so we took it a few more times. It kept getting higher, so I called the hospital and they told me to come in. Your daddy met me there and my blood pressure eventually stabilized. When they were about to let me go home, your heart rate dropped. They almost sent me in for a stat c-section, but you brought it back up. At that moment they decided that I wasn't going home and it was time to admit me. You decided  to make mommy wait and not come until the next afternoon. I will never, ever forget that day: when my life changed so drastically and became a million times better. 
 The first picture daddy took of me after they decided to admit me.
