Reminiscing

It's strange to think that this time last year, I was pregnant and didn't even know it! It's even stranger to think of some of the conversations I had about having kids, and how much I wanted to even though we weren't really trying.

My friend Chrystal moved back home last summer and got a job at Iduma. One afternoon, I took her up to the school to meet everyone. On the way home, we had this deep conversation about having babies, and about what we would do and how we would feel in different situations. I remember feeling very emotional during our conversation about my desire to have a baby!

During our team planning before school started, Alisa was telling me about how awesome her kids are and how much she loves them. I specifically remember her asking if it bothered me for her to talk about them, because we had talked before about how I really wanted a baby, but it wasn't the right time for us. She teared up a little bit while she was talking about them, and I teared up with her!

At new teacher orientation, I ran into my friend Christina. She asked when we were going to start trying to get pregnant, and I told her we were going to have to wait a year or two so Terry could finish school. (Christina has a baby now too!!)

It's just crazy to me that during all of these conversations I WAS pregnant, and I had NO clue. My very first blog post talks about how I took a test to "rule out" pregnancy - I didn't think for a second that I really was. And now, here we are, a year later, and I have the most beautiful, amazing little boy! I am so blessed, and I am so thankful that God had this in store for us!
