A Year's Difference

It was this time, one year ago, that we found out we were going to have a baby.

I took no fewer than 8 pregnancy tests - within two hours.  It was a mix of shock, excitement, and pure joy, and that night will stick in my mind forever.  

See the water bottle??  I was chugging them to take more tests!  I tried each brand that exists- just to be sure  :)

I don't think I've shared this video before, but wanted to now.  My parents and Grammy and Tony's parents were planning to spend Thanksgiving at our house - so it was the perfect time to tell them all in person - together.  We always do the traditional "everyone go around and say what you're thankful for" ritual before eating - and I set myself up to go last.  Tony stealthily filmed it on my phone - thus the terrible angle - I was literally nearly breathless, so nervous and excited to tell them and I wasn't even sure how I was going to say it until the words came out.  I was sure my mom saw it coming a mile away - but apparently she didn't (that's her screeching off camera) - they were all so surprised!  I just love this video.





So one year later, I'm holding my big girl close.  My little tiny baby who is growing up so fast already.  Our little love.
