It doesn't even seem possible, does it?  In one more week, 7 days, 168 hours, 10,080 minutes, or 604,800 seconds, my baby is gonna be ONE!

This time last year, I was looking at nursery that had furniture that was empty and my baby shower for the girls was in less then 48 hours.  I was worried about how I'd feel about having a baby shower for twin girls when I didn't know if I would be able to bring both my girls home.  I was huge.  I slept in the recliner mostly because my back bothered me in the bed.  I was still getting nauseated and drinking a regular coke once a day.  I was downing 24-36 oz of 1% milk (and I used to HATE milk) and over 100oz of water daily.  Oh, and chicken nuggets, they were as much a part of my diet as was the water itself!  I drank a few boosts each day for some protein.  But, mostly, I felt great!!  Absolutely great!

So, now it's been a year?  I had no idea that I was going to go into unstoppable pre-term labor at 29 weeks and 2 days.  I had no idea I was contracting (My mom knew, but me?  No idea - probably why I was dilated to 8 cm when I GOT to the hospital!).  I have the most beautiful little girl right next to me asleep (long story, but between Charley painting a few bathrooms and me being sick, we have been camping out in the living room a lot lately) and the most beautiful little girl in Heaven.  Yeah, I'm biased, but who wouldn't be?

Recently, I got a doll in honor of Addy.  It's a replica of what she looked like size and how she felt weight wise as well when she was born.  I'll get pics of her with this doll soon and I'm going to put her preemie clothes on the doll and show they they SWALLOW the doll as they did Addy back this time last year.  I am just floored with how little this doll is, but then I think...she really WAS that little!  I'm going to get one made for Reagan in time too.  But, we're trying to figure out the details of her doll.  Probably, I'll get it closer to Christmas.

Anyway, this is just some late night ramblings.  I had a rough day myself.  Basically, we ventured to Target to get some things as we were out of everything.. paper towels, toilet paper, diapers, etc...etc..  We had to go.  We had to run to Lowe's to get our light fixture switched out too as it had a short in it.  And, I basically melted in Lowe's.  I was so out of it physically I couldn't do it.  I thought just a few hours at the stores would be good to help with rebuilding my stamina.. and it wasn't.  I was so wiped I konked out for 6 straight hours.  Heck, I don't even remember eating lunch, but apparently, I did.  I'm better now... and trying to rest more.  Steroids are just mean and mean to my body.

Sorry this is all over the place!  But, I still can't believe... one more week!  One more week and I'm the mommy of a ONE YEAR OLD!  How did that happen?  She's sure to have one awesome birthday party low-key with some family and friends and I'll update you all later with photos and details once it all transpires!  And, yes, I'm going to get my baking skills on for her bday!   I got her cake idea in my head and cannot wait to make it! 

That's all for now!
