The Best Day Ever...

First off, I just have to tell you...Every time I think "The Best Day Ever", I sing it in my head like Spongebob! It just makes it that much more magical! I bet I'm not the only mom who thinks the same thing.

The Best Day Ever for me hands down was June 6, 2006. Craig had been in Afghanistan & I hadn't talked to him in about 2 weeks. Not ideal, but it was becoming the norm to have weeks where they weren't able to get any internet service or telephone time. I woke up the morning of June 6th with contractions and I just knew that it was THE DAY! Exciting! But then Craig called before we left for the hospital & said he would be home by this afternoon. Super great news. He was very surprised when I gave him the news that our son would be making his arrival that very same day. It turned out that Craig was late for the birth by 30 minutes but...the timing was still amazing! Cyrus's birth was healthy, happy & relatively quick and painless. I gave birth in a water birthing tub so our experience was educational for many nursing students & DR's there that day that asked to witness. We were surrounded by family(although it would have been nice if my mom and sidlings didn't live across the country) & friends. My husband was able to make it there the day he was born even though we had no control over the 2 week window either of them might have made their visit.
What more could I have asked for?! Thank you Jesus for giving us this blessed memory.

What's your "Best Day Ever"??
