I worked the Junior League Stocked Market and spent time celebrating birthdays with my dad and Jeff's mom all while hiding a little secret.
And this weekend?
I worked the Stocked Market again. My dad and mother-in-law had birthdays again... BUT, this year, things are quite different...

When I go back and read that post about my thoughts and emotions on the "day we found out," I can't help but feel so ignorant and naive.
Obviously, I knew then that my life was about to drastically change; but I really had no idea how much. I didn't know Sam then. It was all so abstract.
When you get that news, especially when you aren't expecting it - your mind runs through 10 million things in a matter of moments. I thought A LOT about being pregnant, having showers, naming a baby, decorating a nursery. I thought a good bit about labor and having a newborn, and, even some about the baby's first steps, his (or her, at the time) first day of school, and even a future wedding. But, I could never have wrapped my head around actually having a four month old little guy just one short year later.

And, on a slightly different note, I'm feeling sentimental about my blog today... Yesterday, while taking tickets at the Stocked Market, I met a couple of people who read my blog. THANK YOU for introducing yourselves - I seriously LOVED it! And, more importantly, thank you for following my simple little story. There are A LOT of good blogs out there - so thanks for thinking mine is worth reading. I am genuinely overwhelmed and humbled by this community we've built here. (And that goes out to ALL of you.)
Even more, I am grateful for this record I have of the last year (and more) of my life. It is such a gift to have these posts to go back and read and be reminded of God's perfect plan. No matter what happens with this blog in the future, I will always be grateful for the memories it has (and is) preserving.
Have a good work week!
Cutest picture and all of the stuff you said about the changes a baby brings is so true. Great post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a touching post!! I love every word! The pictures are the best too!!! love you!!
ReplyDeleteI like this post, and it's so true - it's hard to wrap your mind around how different your life will be in a year when you first find out you're pregnant! I love looking back at old posts.
