Where Did The Year Go?

I'm a little late on this but here goes.
Wow! I can't believe a year ago Eddie and I were eating at Pizza Uno to celebrate that we were going to have a baby in 2 days. We had gone to the Dr. on a Monday and decided that Wednesday would be the day. We were excited, anxious and of course nervous. Our life was about to change drastically. We called everyone we could as we were sitting at the resteraunt. I think our waitress thought we were a little crazy. At school the next day I told all the kids and they were very excited. So Tuesday night came and all we could do is lay in bed thinking how we really needed to get one last night of good sleep. Everyone had warned us we would be up during the night for awhile. Little did we know it would be a year of being up at night. Of course we laid their and talked for awhile and smiled and tried to think what it would be like after we had little Will. The next morning we went to the hospital at 6 am ready to go. I was expecting a very long day because others had warned me of their rough delivery. I was defianatly a little scared. Everything was going pretty good. By 11:30 or so I was ready for my epidral and by the time I got it Will was ready to come in to the world. He was born at 1:43. My mom says I had it too easy and I was going to be ready for another one way too soon!
After Will was born all we could say is how precious and perfect he was. He just brought a smile to our face just looking at him. This past year has been a learning experience. We have had some rough times, funny times, and defiantly happy times. We have loved watching Will grow. It is so amazing that when we first brought him home he just laid there and slept a lot. Boy has that change. He doesn't like to take naps now at all.
I would defiantly say our biggest surprise about having a baby is how long it takes us to get out of the house and how much stuff we need when we travel. You can't just wake up an hour early to get ready. It is now two hours before you need to be somewhere. I wouldn't change it for anything.
Will is the highlight of our day. No matter how rough the day was when we get home and see him it brings a smile to our face.
