I am so upset. Yesterday I go to turn on my computer and there is nothing! After running it up to see what our IT guy could do for me.... the dreaded answer: Hard Drive is Broke. I was so upset he couldn't recover anything. But the glimmer off hope was that the hard drive still contained my data, but a specialist would have to access it (potentially costing up to $1,200).
Every photo ever taken of Madison- ultrasounds, hospital, bringing her home, monthly photo shoots and every photo before Madison- Our 1st Christmas, New House, Hawaii all gone. Thank God our wedding photos are on a disc of their own. I know it's only 4 1/2 months of her life and there will be so many more photos, but those first months were the months I was home with her. And I know I will never get that time back, so I really treasured my photos.
I'm sure Brent will do some looking around to see what we can do to recover the hard drive without spending too much money, but its not looking good. Right now it is with a sweet neighbor who has some computer savvy skills. I cried yesterday- I think mostly because I'm mad at myself. We had talked for so long about buying an external hard drive so we could back everything up and we kept putting it off.
This should be a reminder to everyone: Back up your data!! We are off to find a new hard drive this weekend and at least get us back up and running.
On a very positive note: Today is off to a much better start. Madison and I both woke up a little earlier and so far the difference it has made is great and the day is already running smoother. I did not feel rushed, and even though the house wasn't perfectly tidy it didn't bother me because I was able to get us both ready for the day smoothly.
