365

Last year we met with the geneticist on April 28th, 2008 to get the results of Noah's metabolic testing. Aside from Noah's birth, this was the most traumatic experience of my life. Long story short they were normal aside from a slightly elevated liver enzyme which we have never gotten to the bottom of. But I let go and stopped googling moons ago.

I realized today is actually April 27th and not the 28th but April 27th, 2008 was the day my good friend and co-worker went into labor. As I was sitting in the waiting room of the PICU waiting to hear if my child had a metabolic disorder, I was getting the play by play of my friends labor via text message. 

On April 29th, 2008 my friend had her beautiful, healthy baby girl after 48 hours of labor. All was well, G was perfect and everyone was so proud of K for her hard work and her production of this 9 pound baby. 

Don't get me wrong, I was happy and relieved for her that all had gone so smoothly. I am human though and was also insanely jealous. The combo of her labor and delivery story, PMS and the coinciding day of Noah's test results sent me in to emotional overdrive. My husband and I had a crazy fight that night and I ended up throwing an entire starbucks iced tea at him. Not my best moment. 

365 days later I can say that I have mature. I am still human. But thank God for the better days that were ahead for us!

I wonder where we will be 365 days from now?
