This picture was taken exactly one year ago today. It was Christmas Eve, spent in Florida, with my family. I was 29 weeks pregnant. We went to the OBGYN that day and listened to the beautiful sound of a heartbeat. I was full of excitement and anticipation. I'd dreamed of being pregnant over the holidays for years, and I was so joyous to finally be experiencing it.
Now, one year later, that sweet baby boy that was growing inside me at the time of this picture, now lies upstairs sleeping soundly. He's spent the day with both sets of grandparents-laughing, playing, attending church, opening presents (okay, more like eating the paper), and I don't think my heart could be any more full than it is right now. I am so happy, it almost hurts. My dream has become a reality.
I am so thankful for the precious gift of his life!

It is a great gift, life. Can you imagine, now as a mother of a sweet baby boy, offering him up as a sacrifice for everyone else? Since losing Jon, I have often pondered the role Mary played...how her heart must have been torn and broken. But her baby Son came to save Her as well as the rest of us. Immanuel.
You're so beautiful!
Keli-girl,
I am thankful for his gift of young MJ as well, as there's no one more deserving than you to be a Mommy! I'm glad this year had so many joys to be celebrated, despite having some heartbreaks as well. Give my little buddy a kiss from me! Can't wait to see you both next month!!! XOXOXO, Nancy
I'm so glad you're so full of happiness! x, Mindy
