Never in a million years could I have dreamed

As I sit here and think about the positive pregnancy test that we got this exact day last year I couldn't help but think that it has to be one of the most amazing things to be able to look at your sweet baby while they are asleep in your arms {like I am doing now} and think about how they were made. And how you could never have known what they would look like. Or who. And how people tell you nothing can prepare you for having a baby. And they are so right. They know. Because the joy, the anxiety, the sleepless nights, the desire to get and do everything right, and the love overwhelmed them just like it did you. You can't put it in words. You can try, but you won't succeed. No matter how many books you read or how many blogs with different views and parenting styles you take into consideration, it can't prepare you.

And that's ok.
