It was 20 weeks ago this week that we discovered our lives would be changing forever. I woke up early on a Tuesday morning to find an answer that made every emotion possible in this world rush through my body in just seconds. When I looked down and saw the pink plus sign, I thought it was lying. Two plus signs later and a confirmation from the doctor finally made me realize that in less than nine months, a part of each of us would be introduced to the world. Another life, another soul, a gift so precious that even words can not describe.
Life continues to race by faster and faster with each passing year. I am beginning to understand that becoming a parent will make this time go by even faster. It seems as if we just found about the pregnancy yesterday, when in fact it was 20 weeks ago. I ask myself everyday, "where did the time go?" The old, the wise, and the experienced tell me repeatedly that life in general goes by very quickly and to enjoy every moment of it. I just can not seem to soak up the fact that we are going to be a mother and father in three months. No longer are we responsible for only ourselves, but someone else as well. If this is any indication of how time will come and go in the future, I am going to lather myself in happiness with this wonderful life I have been given and appreciate it to the fullest.
It's amazing how much life can change within one year alone. In the past year, my personal experiences have ranged from good, to bad, to better. The beliefs I had up until I met this wonderful man, my other half, have changed so much. I went from not ever having the desire to get married or have children, to the complete opposite. The impact that one person can have on your life is indeed magnificent. It is because of him that I see life in a completely different aspect. I love my life, my friends, my entire family, and my soon to be husband and son. The words,"my family" are two words I never thought I'd say. I couldn't be happier or more thankful to say them...
