happy one year ago today to us


One year ago today Benjamin and I were sitting down to relax for a bit before hitting the hay.  He asked if he could pour me a glass of wine and I had reservations.  What if I was pregnant?!  After all, I was a day late.  One day and I was suspicious.  I suggested we take a test before I drank a glass of wine because after all, what if I were pregnant?

Benjamin laughed it off but gave in to my craziness and we wandered upstairs so I could take the test and he could stand nearby for the 2 or 3 minutes as we awaited the results. I remember shaking and praying and being pretty giddy.  Benjamin now says I willed for this baby to happen.  It was like I knew...

Obviously, the result was positive and we stood there and said several times, "we're pregnant...we are pregnant..."  Later that night we decided it would be a good idea to download a bunch of baby documentaries on Netflix but first we watched the opening scene to Look Whose Talking- a completely scientific and practical way to think about the little babe growing inside of me.

And now?  Well now we're a family.  We have an almost 4 month old, we're tired, and we've got oh so much love and joy in our lives.  Happy One Year Since We Found Out About Anderson to Us...
