I am not sure where to start, 9 years ago on August the 2nd,2000, or now? I think I will give you a little glimpse of the past a little at a time, this will leave me room to compel you with our daily events, kind of like a reality t.v. show. That was the first glimpse of history, the day Noah was born , August 2, 2000. Remember, this was when half of Montana was on fire, it was so hot and if you had any sort of allergy, you were just feeling yucky and sick. I didn't feel so good that day either, I think I had been on my back for 2 weeks prior , as Noah was sitting on my degenerating discs in my back , ouch! This was also 2 weeks of endless phone calls to my family as I was so bored, I called my gramma Bondy alot during this time as this was when she fell going down the stairs and ended up in the nursing home in Big Timber, I would call her and she would calm me down, I think she got to go home one more time, before she fell again and they had to put here in the nursing home in Glasgow. I think I called my mom a million times wondering what I could do to make me go into labor. I had a pregnancy book that I read a few times, however there was a section in there that I skipped over, the part in the book that was geared toward Down Syndrome babies, I didn't figure I needed it as the test that I took to tell if the baby was downs was in the normal range, so why bother. But being on your back for 2 weeks bored out of your mind will make you read whatever is in sight, so I read the down syndrome chapter just because. I wasn't familiar with downs , but in the spring before Noah was born I read an article in the Havre Daily about a young man that had passed away to a well known family in Havre, Brian Fanning, he died very young and he had downs syndrome, I remember feeling so sad for the family . After that I had some really bizarre dreams, I had one when I was about 7 or 8 months along, it was of Noah biological gramma playing ball with this boy. I couldn't see the boys face, but he was blonde, she would throw the ball slowly as it was very visible that the boy was really concentrating and had a hard time catching the ball. This boy was slower, now that I am writing this I can still picture the dream, he was just about the size Noah is now, I just couldn't see his face. I really believe God was trying to prepare me, I had no idea my baby had any problems, this was the best pregnancy I have ever had, I actually looked and felt beautiful, and if you know me at all, I do not say that much. I was even suntanning in a 2 piece, my belly was tan. I even had a professional photo taken of me in a really pretty white gown with my belly exposed. I did not feel ugly, fat, and pregnant. I will not go into the pre- pregnancy stuff, lets just say it was an immaculate conception for the sake of , lets just not go there, that chapter is closed and forgiven. All in all it was all good. Well, that is enough for the very first night of blogging, ta ta for now
