Six Years Ago

on sept.10th,2000 I was rushed to the hospital an hour away by ambulance with flashers going & sirens wailing. Try convincing your husband on the cell phone, who is in Chicago at the time that everything is fine when he hears that in the background. My husband was in st. Paul's MN when he heard the first cry of his first born son. I went to see the Dr. in the a.m. and 12 hours later I had a baby.
I was in the hospital for a week recovering from HELP and Donovan was transferred to our local hospital for two more weeks. He was born 7 weeks early at 4lbs. 8 Oz. Our baby was 5 days old before my husband made it home to see him.
then a year later I went with my best friend to look for fabric for wedding dress and bride's maid dresses. The next day I was peeling pears when I heard about the twin towers.
so needless to say this week is a week of mixed emotions when it comes to reminiscing.
