A year ago today...

A year ago today, we saw this:

I had a gut feeling that I was pregnant, but yet, when I saw the test develop, I remember my hands immediately started shaking and my face grew hot.  I was in such shock at what the digital test said, that I decided to repeat the test just so that I could make sure that I wasn't getting excited over nothing.

So I took a few more tests.  I remember still being nervous and then walking out of the bathroom to call Michael.  I admit now that I wish I was more calm about everything so that I could surprise him or tell him that he was going to become a dad in a fun way, but I was just still in such shock that I wouldn't have been able to hide the fact that I knew.  Thinking about that day, I can still vividly remember the excitement and the anxiousness that I felt.  I felt so happy that I could've danced, or sprouted wings and flown around the room.  And yet, I was scared and starting praying to God to watch over me and the tiny miracle that was just starting to happen inside of me. 

Fast forward a year, and now we're a family.  Having her was the best thing to ever happen to us.  Michael and I constantly look at each other and wonder what we did to deserve such a blessing.   

This little face just melts my heart every time!
