Dear Elise,
My due date was September 18, 2011. And let me just be honest that we were waiting until the last minute to get ready for you. We had your bed and clothes (lots and lots of clothes), but that was about it. I was going for my regular weekly checkup with Dr. Hudson on September 8, 2011. It had been a long night at work and an even longer day of running some errands, so when I finally got to see the doctor at 4pm, he decided to admit me because my blood pressure was high. He wanted to induce me in the morning. I was shocked! We were not ready. I was not ready. But none of that mattered anymore. I wanted you in my arms so badly.
So after a night of not much sleep, I was induced at 6am. Dr. Hudson did not think you would decide to grace us with your presence nearly as fast as you did. I guess this is our first lesson, you don't always do what's expected. You arrived at 11:23am, and honestly, labor wasn't so bad. Your dad probably wouldn't agree, but who cares. Granted, I thought I was dying the last 15 minutes, but you are so worth it. Never forget that.
