#ThrowbackThursday LABOR DAY

I can't believe I delivered a whole baby a week ago. Every time I look at Avery, it seems unreal that he's here now and that he's ours. Everyday I'm grateful to be a mommy. I'm grateful that God was in the entire process, even though things didn't quite go as planned... Bags packed, manicure and pedicure, eyebrows waxed, car seat installed. Everything was ready for induction day. My original due date was June 27, but due to my high blood pressure, I was set to be induced a week earlier. My plan was to go as natural as possible (I didn't want an epidural and I wanted to have a vaginal birth). The night before we were due to go to the hospital, fear started setting in. What if things go bad? What if the pain is so bad that my blood pressure shoots up? What if Avery doesn't make it? What if I die? All thes...
