Happy holidays everyone!

I hope you’re all relaxing, watching Christmas movies, spending time with friends and family. I feel like there are certain things I have to do every year around this time or else it doesn’t feel like Christmas haha! Am I the only one that feels this way? I always have to make Christmas cookies, watch Christmas movies (The Grinch That Stole Christmas, of course), drive around town to look at everyone’s Christmas lights and decorations. I love this time of year. Last year was a bit different for me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as jolly as usual around that season for a reason. I had miscarried the month before (I’ll save that story for another time) and I didn’t feel like I had much to be happy about. I know that’s not the best way to have looked at it since I know there is so much to be thankful for, more than I could even write down. But if you have ever experienced one, it’s never easy.

A week or so before Christmas last year, I hadn’t been feeling very good. Of course I had a feeling in the back of my mind that I could be pregnant but I knew it would have been too good to be true, so I ignored it. I thought it was too soon considering the recent miscarriage. I kept thinking that something wasn’t right, so, I got a pregnancy test (bought too many of those to count haha, I’m sure a lot of you girls can relate). I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought maybe my hormones were still all over the place from before but, sure enough, I was pregnant. The feeling I had was indescribable. Although I was still so skeptical, due to what happened the time before, it was the best gift I could have asked for.

Fast forward to today, we are blessed to have this beautiful, healthy baby girl. It’s crazy what a difference a year makes! (Is it not the hardest to get a clear picture with an infant?!) I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.
