Yes, only four short months ago my husband and I were frantically running into Walmart to purchase a brand new digital camera! (Did you not expect this type of story? It gets better!) I was waddling because I was 5 days past my due date and Alyssa was just hanging out as content as could be. After threatening her that morning for the hundredth time in the last five days that I was going to send the doctor in after her, we grabbed all the bags, tossed them in the car, fed the dogs and cats extra early and then tested the camera.
We are clearly last minute...and of course what better time for a camera to go wrong when you are about to have your very first baby born? So with less than half an hour before we should have been at the hospital we decided that we would rather be late to our induction than to not have a camera for this event. At 6:30am we hoped that it would be a super fast trip and maybe only end up 5-10minutes late. Go ahead, laugh your common sense heart out at me because I know you all realize what I was too sleepy to think of that morning.
6:30am at Walmart looking for a digital camera on December 30th....Customer service representatives were nowhere to be found, the cameras were obviously locked up and it was December 30th. So many of the models that we liked were out of stock from those last minute Christmas gifts. Finally we tracked down an associate with keys, selected a very nice digital camera and I ran to grab a box of poptarts and we hit the road to make record time across town to the hospital that was only blocks from our house in the first place. Looking back, it is a very good thing that we were on our way for an induction instead of running to the car in labor...
Now, over 1,000 pictures later, my little baby is FOUR MONTHS OLD! Can I curl up on the couch and bawl while I watch her napping in her bouncer??
