One Year

One year ago today I was staring at this:



And now I get to stare at this:




My pregnancy came a little sooner than I was ready for (I wanted to wait at least another 6 months) and it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. My life changed the day I read the word "pregnant", clear as day. I love being a mom and I love my son more than anything else. I'd like to elaborate, but I honestly can't find the right words to express all of the emotions. It's hard to sum up the uncertainty I once felt which was quickly replaced by joy. Loads and loads of joy. More than anything else, I want Jack to know that he is truly loved and always will be.

Jack, you light up my life even on dark days. You amaze me, you make me laugh, and you're the cutest thing ever. I'm so lucky I get to be your mom and watch you grow. I love you and always will.

I can't believe you guys know the exact date... I totally forgot that day... even though it was monumental since we had been trying for 6 mo.+!!!!! What a beautiful surprise to see that faint line (for me) ... I should have gotten one of those fancy tests, then I wouldn't have had to go into the Dr to reassure myself of the miracle!!!
