A year ago today I saw this......
 |
Of course I still remember coming home from work that Friday afternoon and thinking "I am sure this is going to be negative... again" I remember putting the test on the side of the bath tub and before I could even stand up those two pink lines appeared. My breath was sucked out of me, literally. I will never forget that feeling.
NOW, one year later, we know a love that we never knew exsisted, the love for our child.
A year ago, we could pick up and go anywhere at any time with no notice at all, today we have to plan things out... do we need a babysitter, is the diaper bag packed, how many bottles will we need AND, on top of that it takes us like 15 minutes (on a good day) to get out the door to go anywhere (haha).
A year ago, we could stay up as late as we wanted and not worry about having to get up on the weekends or we could go to bed whenever we wanted and not have to worry about waiting for the little one to go to sleep.
A year ago, my house was always clean (ok so most of the time). Today it is over flowing with baby items, the floors need to be swept, the carpet needs to be vacuumed, and the bed needs to be made.
A year ago, I got to work every day at 6:30... the other day I walked in at 7:25.
A year ago, it was just my husband and me.
Today.... we are a family of three! (I promise I did not mean for this to rhyme!)
I love this new season of life that we have and would not change it for the world. I love the adventure of going anywhere with a baby... even after we have checked and double checked to make sure we have everything... it is inevitable that we will get somewhere and not have something we really need, I love rocking him even if it is in the middle of the night and all I want to do is go back to bed, I enjoy getting to work later (NO MORE TEN HOURS DAYS), I love having a "dirty" house" because it means more time to sing, dance, play, coo, talk, and read to Braxton, but most of all....I love our little family!
