One Year Ago

A year ago today it was day two of not feeling well. I was so nauseous out of the blue that I didn't know what hit me. It started on the 30th and I wasn't any better the 31st, BUT I did want MCDONALDs french fries and a strawberry shake. Not from anywhere else. That night Ryan needed to go town and begged and pleaded with me that I finally got my "sick" butt around and off we went. We picked up a test thinking it would be negative (or I did at least), ran our errands and found out I was sure enough pregnant with my sweet Dominick.

I don't think I had ever felt more surprised, worried, anxious, excited, lucky and nauseous in my whole life. I thank God every day for blessing our family in a totally unexpected and surprising way. I honestly wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Even though my pregnancy was unplanned Dominick has been the biggest blessing, he's made our life so much more fun and has brought so much love and laughter into our home.

I consider myself so lucky to live this amazing (but not perfect) life that I live.
