10 years ago today, I was admitted to the hospital on bedrest following a routine, weekly pre-natal appointment.

I had no idea on March 13, 2003, that our first child would be born less than a week later, even though his due date was still almost a month away.

I also had no idea that the next 10 years would fly by so quickly, and that I would go from a nervous first-time mother, to a mother of five, seemingly in the blink of an eye.

10 years. In some ways, an eternity, and in others, just a brief moment in time.
