A year ago today...

...I found out that I was pregnant.  This was rather unexpected. I was scared-- mostly scared of being pregnant and all the things that entails for me.  I was also not quite sure I was up to the task of mothering five children. But you know what?

George has turned out to be the best surprise that I didn't even know I wanted.

I'll admit, the pregnancy was hard. Hard physically, hard mentally not knowing what was next. But it made his coming perfectly and uneventfully all the sweeter.

 

He fits into our family better than I could have imagined. The older kids love him. He is so smiley and kissable, what is not to love?

He is only four months old and he is already trying to keep up with everyone. 

It is amazing how much a year can change things. That fear, that uncertainty turned into this beautiful little boy. I am blessed.
