I was drugged up - and more than most women about to deliver. Yup!
Seriously, my pregnancy with Grace was fine until the last few weeks, which resulted in Gestational Diabetes and Preeclampsia. I had a complicated delivery with her that started early in the morning 3 yrs ago today. Both David and I were sick with congestion, coughing and the typical other symptoms, so pushing a 8lber out of me wasn't what I was up for that day, but after many hrs on the drugs, trying to reduce my blood pressure, and trying to deliver - we ended up with a C-Section and Grace was born at 8:30PM - weighing in at 8lbs-9oz. Big girl, she was and still is today. She's so sweet, and I love her more than words can explain. Today was more than just her having a small party with friends at the house, and opening gifts. She is such a blessing to me, and I thank the Lord daily for my healthy, happy little girl.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!
Here are a few pics of Grace over the years. Forgive me for SO many pictures.

Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been online much lately with all the house projects, Christmas, and getting ready for Grace's birthday. So, tonight is relaxing. We're watching the Clemson/Auburn bowl game, catching up on blogs, spending time with Grace, and oh yeah - it's New Year's Eve, so drinking some champagne.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Hope you all have a safe, new year's eve!! Time for some beer and football.

Awwwhhhh HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!! Gosh, they get so big so quick. She's so cute!!
Yeaahhhh pushing out an 8lber is not fun. That's definitely something I'd NEVER want to do over, well . . .maybe if they gave me drugs in time the next time around. Wait, I don't want anymore children. Forget the idea all together :P
Happy New Year's!!!
HEY!! I had preeclampsia with Isaac!! I will tell you the big long story when you are here but I totally understand! I had to go in and be induced ( my blood pressure went way too high) after being on bed rest for 3 months. Blah. Not happy times until the little guy was born. :>)
