One year ago...

One year ago tonight, I was 41 weeks pregnant.
One year ago tonight, I was sitting here at the computer.
One year ago tonight, I was having contractions every five to ten minutes.
One year ago tonight, I was excited to meet you.
One year ago tonight, we had a family of 4.

One year ago tomorrow, I went to the doctor.
One year ago tomorrow, I got to see you on the ultrasound.
One year ago tomorrow, you were unresponsive.
One year ago tomorrow, they said you stopped growing.
One year ago tomorrow, they said you couldn't wait anymore.
One year ago tomorrow, they said they were going to cut me open again.
One year ago tomorrow, they said they were going to take you out of me.
One year ago tomorrow, I went to the hospital.
One year ago tomorrow, I walked, crying, into the operating room.
One year ago tomorrow, I heard your first cries.
One year ago tomorrow, I looked into your beautiful eyes.
One year ago tomorrow, I mourned my lost birth.
One year ago tomorrow, they said, "At least you have a healthy baby."
