Can you believe it has been TWO years???

It has been TWO years since we found out that our little Brayden was on his way!! I still get teary eyed thinking about the excitement the night that I seen that one AMAZING word pop up on that EPT....PREGNANT!  I could re-live that day over and over.  

We had not been trying that long at all when we became pregnant but it felt like an eternity! My whole life I have wanted to be a mommy and when we started trying I wanted it to happen that first month.

 I remember the night that I found out I was feeling kind of crampy and I thought to myself no way is this our month. The only other symptom I was having was I was extremely tired.  I did not think anything about it at the time. Nick had been out of town and I was just sure we had missed our chance that month but little did we know "WE WERE PREGNANT!! "  After I started to feel a little crampy I decided that I would check to see even though I just knew that it was going to be negative. So I made my way in the bathroom and did what I had to do and waited.  I would not even look at that test until I knew that enough time had passed. I just prayed and prayed as time passed.  I finally picked up the test and looked at it and it read "PREGNANT!"  I immediately started crying and almost dropped the test! It was one of the best days of my life.  It was an amazing day and one I will never forget!

 Life has not been the same since the word PREGNANT showed up on that little stick!  It is amazing how much Brayden has changed our lives these past TWO years! I have been shown a whole new life and a whole new way to love.  As I look at my amazing son I still cannot believe we made him and that he is mine!!

Here Brayden is exactly one year ago today!

  

Two years later, here is the baby, or I guess I should say little boy,  who changes my life daily...oh how I love him!

A baby changes everything. That is probably one of the most true statements that I have ever heard in my life. I think back over the last 2 years and I am just amazed at how much my life has changed for the better. Some days I can't even believe what Brayden has brought to our lives and to our home. 

I love the Rascal Flatts song "The day before you." I loved how the words reflect the heart of a man in love, and all the wonderful emotions that go along with being in love. I think it is the same with a child. You fall in love with your child the day they are conceived and life changes forever.

I love this part of the song......It says:
"Now you're here, and everything's changing. Suddenly life means so much. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true...I will never have to go back to...the day before you."

I love that life means so much more because of him.  He has taught me so much already and I continue to learn from him daily.  My life will never be the same because of him.  He has definitely changed me.  His love has changed me.

Once in a while right in the middle of an ordinary life love gives us a fairy tale.-Unknown
