28 May
Has it really been that long?
Oh! How could I forget to mention it!
Today is Klumpen’s 13th birthday. In seven minutes (as I write this), at 1:32 p.m., she will officially be a teenager.
Excuse me while I have a Mommy moment. {sniffle}
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 13 years since she finally (she was three weeks late) entered our world. I couldn’t imagine life without her. I can still vividly recall the dreams I had before she was born, where I could see a perfect outline of her foot pressed on my stomach and I could even count the toes.
She was definitely worth the nearly 50 hours of labor, and the trip in the German ambulance over the cobblestone roads, and the midwife, and the nurses who spoke no English to my lack of German.
Happy Birthday, Klumpen!
