So Much To Celebrate!

Today is our anniversary and Brody's 1/2 birthday!

Its amazing to think back 8 years ago when I first met Ken. Who knew our life would end up so wonderful. We met while I was working at Gap at the age of 17; He was 20. (My parents took a while to get used to the idea of a 20 year old.) He asked if he could walk me to my car after my shift. Of course, I said yes and the rest is history! I'm so lucky to married to such an amazing husband and father! I love you baby! Happy 3 years!!!

Its hard to believe Brody has been with us for 6 months. When I think back to the day I delivered him, a million feelings come back to me. I was so scared, more of the unknown I think. Not knowing what the C-Section would feel like, not knowing if him coming early would effect him, not knowing how to be a mother. Somehow God has given me the tools to take care of him. (Mostly in the form of wonderful grandparents, sisters in law, Lisa,Kim, and everyone else that has fielded the millions of questions I have asked.) It took nine hours from the time he was born until I was able to see him. Short visits to the NICU were the highlight of our day. I can remember not being able to sleep the second night. Ken went with me at midnight, just to hold him, smell him, breathe him in. We never knew how blessed our life could be. Happy 6 months Brody!!
