Abby Caddaby!

Well, today is my daughter's 3rd birthday. I can't believe it. If I think about it, I can put myself right back to the day we went to the hospital because I was having contractions. It was supposed to snow, I was nervous and truthfully, tired of being pregnant. I wanted her out. I didn't want her to have a birthday so close to Christmas b/c I didn't want her to ever feel "gipped" from getting combined Christmas/birthday gifts. So, off we went. They checked me out and told me that while I did have contractions, I wasn't nearly dilated enough. Unless I progressed soon, I was going to be sent home. So-hubby and I did sprints around the hospital, until I progressed!! Checked in and slept overnight. She was born the following afternoon and was the easiest labor ever. I can clearly remember trading wisecracks with hubby and the doctor in between pushes....

And now she's 3!! She came into our room this morning holding up three little fingers saying, "Mommy, Daddy, I'm thlee, I'm thlee!!" So cute! We had m&M pancakes for breakfast, scooted off the the Highlights Open House in Honesdale for some crafty festivities and refreshments, bought some books, went out to lunch at Patisserie Du Jour on Main St. and then headed home for naps (for everyone!). So far, a wonderful day!!

I just finished her cake-Abby Caddaby! I think she came out well. Hopefully, the "thlee" year old will think so too!
