June 12.

Three years ago today was my due date with Jayla. It was a very eventful day. First thing in the morning, I had a doctor appointment. 8:30am. We had a busy day ahead of us. So, I get my induction date set up. June 15. 8:00am. Woo hoo! I was just 3 days away from seeing my princess! Off we go to the Metro. Ahh, an adventure in itself. The Metro is a subway, that takes you to DC. It stops at every stop along the way. So, the trip takes you at least an hour and a half. We had to be in DC at 12. It was 9:30 when we caught the redline. We get there around 11. And head off to DAR for Heather's graduation. It's about 4 blocks away. I was so exhausted, and stopped every few minutes for water. Remember, I was 40 weeks pregnant. If this didn't put me into labor, nothing would. I was pumped. We get to DAR, find our seats. Graduation proceeds. They play Pomp and Circumstance, and there I am, crying like a baby. Dang hormones. The song stops, and I have to catch my breath from crying so hard. Only to catch my breath every 10 minutes from contractions. Yay. So, I'm sitting in DC about 2 hours away from my doctor, at my sister's graduation. No way to call my doctor. As these things rush through my head, the contractions stop. Oh joy. No baby after all. So they call my sister's name, and I once again, cry like a baby. My sister is officially out of high school. No more school for her. Now back to the 4 block walk, then the metro, and head home. Something along the way had to put me in labor, right? Nope. Not even having to stand up on the Metro and wait for a seat to open. Yes, because that's how rude people in Maryland are. Grr.
Anyway, that was 3 years ago today. Obviously, nothing put me into labor that day. Which made me sad, but not many people go into labor on their due dates anyway. I had 3 days to go. Just like I do now. However, I think these 3 days will zoom by, compared to those 3 days. Ahh, how life sucks that way.
I love you, Jayla!
