It's fun to reminisce about my first birthing experience. It was really very amazing and I'm so nostalgic about it still. I actually look forward to doing it again!
I have to say as we were driving home yesterday, I was thinking about how Annika and Morgan are about the same age - AND you've had another one since then along with being pregnant. Kind of blew my mind - I bow down to you, you crazy woman HAHA
