April 9, 2013…1 year ago today, I went to what I thought would be a regular doctor’s visit and ended up in labor and delivery at 32 weeks.   

I was shocked and terrified. 

I learned several lessons that day…

1.  Every moment is precious.

2. Adam likes to make jokes in times of stress.

3.  My family is amazing.

4.  I work with 5 of the most amazing women who were by my side in 10 minutes flat.

5.  I have more strength than I ever thought I did.

6.  I can be still if forced to.

7.  A mom truly will sacrifice anything for her child; even before they are born.

8.  God always has a plan; it just may not coincide with yours.

9.  Don’t take anything for granted.

10. I would do anything for Marley Scout.

Fortunately we made it 8 more weeks before Marley really made her arrival. 

Patience is truly a virtue and I think I learned it the hard way, but all 46 days of bed rest were worth it when I look into those gorgeous blue eyes!
