One Year Ago....

Almost one year ago, around this time, I began to realize there was a possibility I was pregnant. I remember feeling a little different and talking to my sister about it. At the time we were living in Panama and my sister was working at the Chamber of Commerce for College Station. Back in those days we spent the whole day talking on gmail chat while she worked and I passed the time until Darrin got home.

I remember telling her that I thought I was pregnant. I wasn't totally sure, but I was kinda thinking I was. We began looking up baby things and talking about how fun it would be. We were getting a little excited looking at all the adorable things that we could buy for a baby. Of course, since we weren't trying and it wasn't planned, there were tons of emotions to be felt at one time!

About a week went by and I really started to feel different. It was December 13th and we attended a Christmas party for Darrin's work at the Panama Canal. After eating lunch, I remember feeling so incredibly HOT and starting feeling a little sick to my stomach. I of course complained to Darrin for a bit and then moved on. I think I told him I thought I was pregnant that night, but he kinda shrugged it off like I wasn't serious.

So the next day rolled around and I decided that as soon as Darrin got home from work we were going to get a test! He got home from work and I was literally standing at the front door ready to go. We went to the little store up the street and bought 2 tests. We came home and immediately I took one and sure enough IT WAS POSITIVE!! I WAS PREGNANT!! We couldn't believe it, we were shocked!! I took the other test a few minutes later and it confirmed, WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!

I decided to write about this moment because I remember it like it was yesterday and already it has been a year. So much has happened this year and I have been incredibly blessed. Today Reagan is already 4 months and I continue to love her more and more everyday. There really is nothing greater than becoming a Mommy, the feeling is totally unexplainable. I am so lucky to have such a healthy and precious little girl. I love you Reagan Marie and I am so lucky to be your Mommy!
