One year ago, this very minute, 10:59pm, my life changed forever.
After many years of struggling with infertility, miscarraiges, and not the easiest of pregnancies, God brought Jonathan into our lives. I knew our lives were going to change dramatically; you can't be a pregnant woman & not have someone tell you how much it's going to change. I wasn't prepared for how completely and immediately the love for your child consumes you. I had never wanted anything as badly as I wanted a child, and here he was, my miracle.
There have certainly been struggles throughout this past year, but I wouldn't trade one nanosecond of it. When Jonathan smiles at me, when he grasps my finger, when he laughs... all is right in the world.
I thank God daily for making us a family, but there never seem to be enough thanks to express how I feel. So, thank you, God, for the most amazing year of my life. And I pray for many, many, many more.

i think when you have wanted it so bad it just makes it that much sweeter. congrats on one year with your wonder.
I ditto the sentiment above. It only gets better and harder from here. They (children) become more independent and it is a great joy to witness the creation of butterflies! But oh so hard on a mommy heart!
I am so happy for you! I know for as long as I can remember, you have wanted to be a wife and mother. You are every bit the best I know of and Uncle David and me wish you many, many years of happiness and joy with your beautiful little man.
Hugs and Kisses,
Aunt Debbie
