Happy 1st birthday!!!!

Wow. This year has gone by fast!!! A year ago I started having contractions in the morning, got a really high fever. By 10am, I called the hospital to get some advise, by 10:30 my  water broke. 11am rushed to hospital with the ambulance, then the terrible time, waiting for the test results, discussions with 3 different doctors if we should wait (I really wanted another natural birth) induce, or have the caesarian, if i should be transferred to a different hospital because of the bad test results then the decision. At 14:56 Michi was delivered by emergency caesarian. I was only able to see him for a short moment, then he was rushed away for the tests - luckily DH stayed with him the entire time, but the next 3 hours while I was sown back together and put in the recovery room seemed like an eternity. 

Then the relief: the decision was the right one and baby was fine. I was put on heavy antibiotics but the baby was healthy! (After I came home, I read up on the internet and got really scared. Had the doctor not acted so quickly, Michi could have died or be severely handicapped.)

At 6:30, my sister and her family brought Sarah to the hospital to see her little brother. 

Then at 10pm when everything was quiet, I just laid there, admiring my little miracle. 

And now, a year later: He has been running (not walking) for 2 months, has 8 teeth, uses 6 different signs of the baby sign language, climbs up everywhere and is the cheekiest rascal a mom could wish for. Yesterday, while I baked the cake for his birthday,  he stole my oven mittens and thought it was really funny running around with them.

I pre-made this layout using the My Minds Eye kit. I bought it here at SCRAP ME.

Thanks for stopping by!
All the best,
