One year ago today...

My life changed a year ago today.

A year ago today I found out that Nick and I were going to have a family.  Yes, I was pregnant.  Overwhelmed with joy and fear, I put down my cup of coffee and walked around as if my body was made of eggshells.  As Nick and I held each other and cried (probably with both fear and joy), we knew we had been blessed with the greatest gift, introduced by those two pink lines...but of course we had no idea :)

I have often thought that we should change the way we measure age.  Of course, that would completely rock the current acceptance of "life begins after 24 weeks gestation" belief.  But if the world believed that life begins at conception, my little Adrian Samuel would be over a year old.  Crazy thoughts.

The past 16 weeks have been the craziest, most exhausting, happiest, most love-soaked weeks of my life.  At 16 weeks, Adrian has found his fingers, found his toes, loves cuddling and hugging, smiles all the time, fills 6-9 month clothes, laughs when you play peek-a-boo with him, and adores his baths,  He can roll over, and loves to sit up (with assistance).  Of course, I am super proud of every tiny milestone...but that's my job :)

This fall we are looking forward to two baby nephews.  My sister in law is expecting sweet baby Jack in November, and my sister will soon welcome baby Levi the beginning of September.  I'm looking forward to all of the memories Adrian will make with his cousins so close to his age.  What fun!  We are a blessed family.

Thanks for reading!
