...I was in labor...I'd been in labor since the day before...about 30 hours...and little did I know I still had 10 more hours to go...
...also little did I know I'd deliver the cutest, crazy dark-haired little St. Patty's Day daughter. We really anticipated we'd have an Alexander or a Nicholas on our hands (funny how those names never even panned out for our real sons :)). I still remember sitting in that Grand Rapids delivery room waiting for our 1st Baby Stegs to arrive...wondering what kind of parents Kev and I would make...wondering what our child would look like, what he/she would become. And now all these years have gone by in the blink of an eye...she's become this beautiful, intelligent, confident, fun(ny), talented and independent young woman...someone I admire so incredibly much for her drive and her sweet nature and for the ways she uses her God-given talents and abilities. When I was in labor all those years ago I never dreamed God would bless us with such an incredible child. Happy Almost 14th to our Hailey Nicole.
