Whoops, did I say Rome? I meant Missouri.

After leaving the hospital I changed my mind, again, on taking Vada to the Saint Louis Arch. I had changed my mind thinking that she had been through too much and was tired. However, after a good nap she was bouncy as ever so I figured, why not. Then I became tired and I just couldn't decide. Finally, as we were in the car and the Arch was becoming clear in the distance I decided that we would in fact stop to see it. I paid five dollars for a parking place in a ramp as course as I could find and with Vada riding snug in my Beco away we went. It took a good deal of walking and all of ten minutes to get a couple of decent pictures but I took Vada to see the Arch for her very first time. Im pretty for sure that she didn't notice the huge structure at all but that's okay, I did and and the memories I have attached to it will always have a special place in my heart.
The last time that I was in Saint Louis was July 20, 2009. My family was the size of four with a tiny little cashew growing in my belly. At this time I was too early into the pregnancy and we didn't even know if we would be having a boy or a girl.

While I missed the rest of my family
and I wished deeply that we could have
all been together, this little moment was a fun memory that I feel blessed to have been able to share with Vada.

So cool that you made a memory after all the stress! I loved seeing the photos. I grew up in St. Louis! I LOVE the song "Blessed" by Brett Dennen. I've never heard him before!
Good for you! Keeping you in my prayers!
