One year ago today.....

Last year, on Wednesday, September 23, 2009, I woke up with a strong hunch that I was pregnant. Earlier that week I told Doug we should probably wait until Friday or Saturday to take a test to make sure, but something told me that morning to take a test. I noticed a few little signs of possible pregnancy, and I just couldn't wait until the weekend. I never really expected it to be positive after so many negative tests in the previous months, but my mouth dropped and I jumped up and down when I saw the word "pregnant" pop up on the digital test. My very first thought after that was to pray that it would be a healthy pregnancy resulting in a healthy baby. I then had to find the motivation to get ready for work and teach the whole day without revealing my secret to anyone. I couldn't wait for Doug to get home that day to share the news. I can't believe it's been a whole year. I remember thinking on that day, after realizing my due date was around June 3, that it seemed so far away. But here we are, a year later, with an almost 5 month old baby, and I can't believe how much our lives have changed for the better! We love you Grant!
