A Year Ago

I've been feeling rather nostalgic all week. For good reason, I think.

A year ago today I wrote this post at 2:38 pm.

I was very pregnant. And uncomfortable. And frustrated. And I had a whole month to go.

Or so I thought.

That evening my department had our annual holiday dinner. We went to Pachamama's, a fabulous (fine dining - by Lawrence standards) local restaurant. I had duck.

I will never eat duck again.

That night I slept very little. Breathing my way through what I thought were Braxton Hicks contractions. Or perhaps the duck.

I was wrong on both accounts.

A year ago today I was just Heidi.

A year ago tomorrow I became Mommy.
