It was a Friday that your Daddy took me to the doctor's office. It was the most gorgeous day in sunny North Carolina. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Again, my blood pressure was sky high and they could not get it down. I had to stay for 2 hours as they tried and tried. I thought, "Here we go again to the hospital for another round of tests". But then the doctor came in the room and said you are going to have this baby. We were ecstatic!!! We were so ready to meet you!! We had waited so long and that day was here. He told us we could go home and pack. So we got in the car and started calling our family and friends. We packed and took a picture of me in front of the house. Then we were on our way to Duke.
