One Year Ago Today (Part III)...

I was still in labor, wondering when Baby Chili Pepper would make her grand entrance. Because of the hypnobirth training, I was heavily into my hypnotic state and remember very little about this day. From what my family tells me, I was on my feet walking almost the entire time, unless the doctor or nurses needed to monitor the progress. My incredible hypnobirth instructor spent endless hours talking, massaging, and helping me remain as pain-free as possible.

Here is the only known photo that I have from this day...



I do remember telling myself that all of my hard work would pay off soon...when my beautiful baby girl would be in my arms at last.

Come back tomorrow to hear the end of this story...

And speaking of that precious baby girl...Miss Bryleigh Eden is officially walking! One day before her first birthday, she can now take upwards of 5 - 6 steps before she sits down!
