It’s been one year since the beginning of the end; August 25, 2010 was the day I was admitted to hospital on indefinite bedrest, the day Nyana’s journey began. I didn’t keep a journal during my hospital stay, though I shared many of the details of the events leading up to her birth on the About September 20th page. It wasn’t until a few months after Nyana was born that I realized that my frequent musings on Facebook during “the month I was away” tell the story of my institutionalized bed rest more than any journal ever could. So for the sake of being able to relive that month again any time I want tell the complete story to Nyana one day, I’ve compiled a month’s worth of status updates and comments into a cohesive, chronological story. You can hover over each snippet for more of the story.
And you know the rest of the story. If you’re a new reader or somehow don’t know the rest, head on over to the very beginning to pick up where this story left off.
I totally need to do that too. With pretty much everything that has happened the last year. FB is so much more convenient than blogging (maybe because of the 3 kids or something). Now I have some motivation to do it. I did write more before Melany was born… after… not so much.
Love ya and Nyana!!!
That was a good history lesson
But I love your blog, so hope you keep it up, not to mention I don’t do FB.
Hope Nyana is having a great Sunday
I really enjoyed reading this blog…..all of those scary moments were relived but this time, knowing what the outcome was, reading all of those comments was like remembering a happy memory rather than a nasty nightmare. I still chuckle when you told me about Earl, the bear!! Nyana will enjoy reading all of those comments from everyone and as she reads them she will know how many people loved her and cheered her on.
Love to you all!! <3<3<3
This is totally awesome and reminds me that I saved all of my fb updates regarding H and being pregnant since the day I “fb announced it”. I will have to do a blog post like this. I’m not fancy enough to do screen shots and such because i have no idea how but they’re all saved in a doc.
BTW, I still remember reading these updates and the one where you told us you had Gestational Diabetes and couldn’t eat your chocolate was heartbreak to me. I recall being like “NOoooooOoooo!!” outloud… and I still feel horrible for you.
Awe! Love this! What a great idea. (and that comment from your mom (I assume?) about punching the “19 year old bitch from Surrey” make me laugh obnoxiously loud, hahaha).
