One Year Ago

It has been a whole year since our world was thrown for a loop. It was during Thanksgiving weekend, last year, when my water broke at almost 23 weeks pregnancy. That was the beginning of 8 weeks of hospitalized bedrest. Which was followed by 12 weeks with my baby in the NICU. It's become one of those weird time warp things. It feels like it was yesterday, but forever ago at the same time. It was definitely the hardest thing that Morgan and I have had to face. It was not easy. It was not fun. But it taught us more about love, sacrifice, and gratitude. We feel so blessed that in the face of all that could have gone terribly wrong, we have a happy, healthy, beautiful baby girl. We got a 'happily ever after' out of our trial.
