Today marks two weeks since Leilani has been in a full leg cast... that's half way to the end of this madness. And although she's been a trooper and has barely been slowed down by having the cast, I still hope the next two weeks go by very quickly! I want to get her back to Gymboree and to our daily walks around the neighborhood.
Today is also the one year anniversary of the day Leilani was supposed to be born on. And by that I don't mean her due date, rather the day that my prenatal doctor scheduled her to be born on (through induction). I changed the date because my parents were flying into town the very next day, and I wanted to wait until they were here. So I rescheduled the induction so that she'd be born on August 1st instead. To this day, I still feel a little weird about 'playing God' like that, but in reality, it's the same thing my doctor was doing by scheduling me for an induction in the first place. Looking back, I kinda wish I would have been able to experience that cliched moment of my water breaking and heading to the hospital in a mad dash. Oh well, the induction went very smoothly, was convenient for everyone involved, and who knows... maybe I'll get that experience the next time around!
