This is my post

Published by Kelly November 3rd, 2007 in Uncategorized.

I am dead on my feet and so you will only get a quick jaunt down memory lane.

At 10:00pm one year ago today my water broke when I was conveniently on the toilet and then the next 9 hours of my life were spent in this position.

Doped up on my epidural. It was worth it…ooooohhhhh it was worth it!

So cute! It’s amazing how much she still looks like that newborn picture - most babies don’t! Happy Birthday to you both!

The first is such a celebration! More for the parents than the child because obviously they don’t quite “get it.”

Happy First Year! The two’s are my favorite. Enjoy!

What a precious girl. Are you emotional about her turning one? I know I was with Aiden. What a special time. Enjoy!

Happy birthday to little Chloe. Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been a year.
13 Rachel Nov 4th, 2007 at 12:33 am

So if it was one year ago at 10:00pm today that your water broke and 9 hours later you had miss Chole, doesn’t that mean her birthday is tomorrow? Congrats to you and her on her FIRST happy birthday!
14 Kaili Nov 4th, 2007 at 12:37 am

Hola Kelly,

Well, I guess my name is out for the prize since I have been a slacker at commenting, but my excuse is that we were out of town.

Just a few things:
a) You make the best pillows. I hope one day you get rich off your adorable pillows.
b) Happy 1st Birthday CHLOE GRACE!!!!
c) And I just realized it has been over a year since I am been one of your faithful reader since I remember Chrissy sent me your site a few weeks before Chloe was born.
23 Donna Nov 4th, 2007 at 9:48 am

Happy Birthday, dear Chloe!

And you, my dear, are a rock star mommy. Did you ever think you’d make it through the first year? I’m so proud of you! You are such a wonderful mom and Chloe and Porty are so lucky they got you.

Have a great day!
24 Candace (aka Candy-ass!) Nov 4th, 2007 at 10:19 am

Happy Birthday Chloe!! And Congratulations Kelly and Ryan—you survived the first year! It justs gets better and better. I can’t wait to hear and see all the birthday party details.
25 meridyth Nov 4th, 2007 at 10:38 am

I still have a chuckle when I realize my brother is a daddy. It’s a good thing. Happy birthday, beautiful Chloe! I can’t wait to see all the pictures from today.
26 Natalie Nov 4th, 2007 at 10:58 am

That has to be the best “Labor” pciture I have ever seen. But, again it was “before.” Hope Chloe’s birthday went well. Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Chloe!!
Turns out I can get a *whole* 30 minutes of computer time here each day. I’ll have to make it count!
28 marguerite moore Nov 4th, 2007 at 1:09 pm

Happy Birthday Chloe, and many more. God bless you and your family.
29 Kristin Nov 4th, 2007 at 2:21 pm

Happy Birthday, Chloe!

I always think the mom deserves a congratulations on her childrens birthdays too, I mean you have done a lot of work in the past year plus to get Chloe to where she is today. So, congratulations, mama, a whole year!
30 christina Nov 4th, 2007 at 3:23 pm

Happy Birthday CHLOE!! What a precious little cutie!

She was a beautiful newborn!
32 Lynne Nov 4th, 2007 at 4:33 pm

Hey Kelly!
I REALLY wanted to come see you and Cloe on her special day! Abby has not had a very good day…plus seems to be getting a cold…needless to say I did not want to bring baby germs to spread around your party! We love you guys!

awwwww… Happy BIRTH day to you, mama & happy birthday, sweet Chloe!!!
Oh so worth it, oh so true!
34 Eileen Tully Nov 4th, 2007 at 7:19 pm

Yay! Happy birthday, Chloe! I’ve been reading your blog for over a year now! I can’t believe our “snaps” are one. Jack’s got a few days yet, but still…

And I have to say: NINE hours?? Girl, I pray I’ll only go 9 hours. I was easily 36 hours. Definitely worth every minute, but a sister needs a break this time, know what I mean??
35 Amy Martin Nov 4th, 2007 at 8:47 pm

Aw, happy bday Chloe girl!
36 Shari Nov 5th, 2007 at 7:22 am
