A Year Ago

A year ago, at this moment, I was laying in bed watching Thursday night college football. West Virginia was playing, and I was exhausted from working 8 months pregnant. I was stressed about upcoming parent visitation and observations among other things. My feet were swollen to the size of small cantaloupes. I was a few minutes away from falling asleep with my glasses on, the lights on, and my husband cheering on the mountaineers only to wake up to a whole new world...

A year ago, at this moment, I had never felt a love so strong. I had never felt a love so intense. I was completely unaware of the transformation I was going to make into a mommy. It was the greatest experience of my life.
