What a difference a year makes...

As I sit here next to my son sleeping away in his swing I am so overcome with emotion. One year ago today was the day that his little life began. It was the day of our egg retrieval. I was so nervous and yet hopeful. But I had no idea where I would be a year later. They retrieved 28 eggs and were able to fertilize 14. One of those little embryos turned into my sweet Titus!! I know that I am beyond blessed and that God is still God, and would still be good even if our story didn't have a happy ending. But today I am just so thankful that He saw fit to answer our prayers and make my dream of motherhood a reality!

A Profound Picture


This is a family picture that was taken yesterday. This picture makes me get choked up every time I look at it. And it's actually a terrible picture of me!! I still have at least 25 pounds to lose and well, I look pretty tired. But this picture is the very first family picture that Titus is in!! It's crazy how many holidays I stood there with Ryan and I and longed for our own little person to add to the crazy family photo shoot. We are so blessed, and do not deserve the gift that he is to us!!
