One Year Ago...

One year ago today, we were excited, we were scared, we were cautious, we were worried about telling my future employer that I would be quitting in 8 months before I even started. 

One year ago, we found out that this...

 

gave us hope as we saw this

 

We asked for prayers, and you responded.  We soon found out that we had one strong heart beat

We were so excited, but still so cautious as we had seen this twice before.  

We saw our little gummy bear wiggling at 8 weeks.  It didn't seem real, and were still so worried.  Over the next few months we heard your heartbeats.

 

We then found out it was a healthy little girl

We felt here movements, and loved her then and we grew with her (33 wks, my last profile shot)

We got to see how cute she was before she even came

Then she made her grand entrance into our family

We have watched her grow up over the past 4 months into the most beautiful baby we have ever seen, and we have loved every minute of it.

It is amazing how one year ago, we had that amazing plus sign on a stick that gave us hope.  And now we have a beautiful little girl that give us so much joy.  

In just one year, our whole world changed, and we have loved every minute of it.  Alice, we are so glad that heavenly father sent you to us.  You are the answer to 6 years of diligent prayers by not only your parents, but so many who loved you before you were born.  We love you so much and look forward to many more years.
