The days seem to be going by just a little too quickly. I can not truly fathom that my sweet little baby would be one year old tomorrow. I wish that I was planning a big 1 year birthday party... I would love to see how much Aaden had grown during the first year of his life...One year ago today I sat in a doctor's office and begged for the doctor to induce me. I explained, amidst tears (I can be quite dramatic at times), that I really wanted to have this baby naturally and I knew that he was going to be a big baby. I had a hard labor with Andrew and the doctor had almost ordered a c-section... I did not want to go through the same thing with Aaden. So, in my mind every day that passed he was getting bigger and bigger and in turn would be harder and harder for me to deliver him. So, I begged and pleaded. The sweet doctor said yes and scheduled me for an induction the following morning.Aaron and I were so excited. We called everyone and told them Aaden would be coming at some time the following day. Imagine my turmoil when I got a call later that day from the doctor saying she was not going to allow me to be induced... I was so upset. I cried and cried. Pretty pathetic actually...I was so anxious to meet this little baby. I wanted him to be born so we could love on him and begin the next phase of our life as a family.That night I prayed and trusted... I knew Aaden would be born exactly when God wanted him born, but I was just being inpatient as always. We would just have to wait...
