then and now...

Happy 10 months to my baby girl :)
Everyday I look at her and just smile, she is such a blessing and I can't believe it was just one year ago it all changed.


THEN...
I can't believe one year ago this day things changed for me. This was the day I took a pregnancy test, I found out I was pregnant. When I saw that I was, I cried. I don't know how long I did, but it was my reaction. I didn't know what to think or what to do. I had to make sure the test was right so I went to see a doctor about it and she confirmed I was pregnant. I cried even more because now I needed to tell everyone, I wish I could say I was excited, but I was more scared if anything as to what everyone else would think especially since I was 29 weeks along. I know, I found out way later than usual. Telling our family and friends made me realize that I did have more support than I thought.

NOW...
It's amazing what 365 days do to one person's life. I am so surprised how much can change in a year, yes I had a baby, but so much more. My perspective on life has changed for the brighter and my hopes for Madison just make me happy knowing that we are raising a wonderful baby girl. I wasn't back in school, now I am heading towards my goal of becoming a nurse and have a plan made out. Jon and I have our eyes towards the future and making Madison a strong, independent girl. I realized in the past year that I have found a deeper love for life and for family.

Thank you Madison for changing our life, we love you for it!
