One year ago today I learned I was expecting Marshall.

Pure joy plus equal parts shock (we hit the target first try!) and disbelief (a dear family member brought three more tests just to be sure since the first three weren’t enough to convince me) ran through me.

I was going to be a mama again.

FOUR kids!!

Was I crazy?  Not at all.  There is nothing I love more than being a mom.

I wouldn’t trade any of the nausea, joy, sorrow, happiness, tears, peace, gratitude, and even agony of that blessed roller coaster of emotions and experiences this past year has given us all.

Coffee cheers to Marshall!!

I am so thankful for the millions of ways he has changed all of our lives since the minute we found out about him!
