One year ago today, my life changed forever. All of the
dreams, wishes, and prayers of the last 3 years had finally come true. When I
opened that pregnancy test, I never expected to see two lines, I really didn’t.
I had seen so many negative tests over the years, I was so used to only seeing
one line, I didn’t believe it when I saw two.
My emotions were crazy that next week, and really, through
most of the pregnancy. I was completely overjoyed and absolutely terrified at
the same time. I wasn’t terrified about being a mother or having a child, I was
so scared of losing the pregnancy, since that happened the last time. I did
eventually relax and enjoy most of the pregnancy, but I never did completely
get rid of that anxiety.
I had a lot of fun over those next 8 or so months planning
for our little monkey. I debated about finding out the sex, how to decorate the
nursery, names, and things I would and wouldn’t do.
I loved being pregnant. I loved the milestones….1st
trimester, 2nd trimester, ultrasounds, feeling him kick, everything.
And now, I have everything I could have ever wanted. I am
finally a mom. I have the most perfect little angel in the whole world, who was
so worth all the struggles and tears. I would do anything for that little boy.
His smiles melt my heart into a big puddle of Carson. I don’t know how I ever
lived without him, or how I could ever live without him now.
He is truly my miracle. I have loved him every minute of
this last year, even before I knew him. From the moment those two lines showed
up, I was done for.
Someone told me once that children choose their parents. They
come down from Heaven at just the right time to meet their moms and dads and
become a family. There might have been other babies that thought about choosing
us, but Carson was meant for us.
