Preggo Day

February 4, 2010. A life-changing day for our family. Early that Thursday morning, I took a test...and passed it with flying colors. ;) Our hearts soared. From that point on, love for our second child and excitement for his arrival grew exponentially with each passing moment. Exactly one year later, we can barely recall life before knowing of Porter's existence. He swept into our home and our hearts and made us complete.

It just so happens that this morning I received the maternity pictures my friend Amie took for me five days before Porter was born. I can't believe it's been just shy of four months since my sweet babe was tucked up inside my belly! Truth be told, I miss being pregnant and can't wait to do it all over again -- not tomorrow, but someday in the near future. 

For now, though, I'm content to look back on one of my final days as a momma of one incredibly handsome little boy (and one on the way)...

Crazy how much can change in a year! Love the pictures! I too did that when I was pregnant with Abby and cherish them. There really isn't anything like carrying those little babes, is there? Your family is so beautiful and I love keeping up on all your cute stories! You and Christine have inspired me to try to be a better blogger this year! Although I don't know if I can EVER match you guys!

Love the pictures too! Although I think I look more pregnant post Madison today than you did pre-Porter's birth! Grrr! :o) And Karen --- you have one more "excuse" also known as children for not keeping up on blogging!

I can't even remember how i came across your blog, but recently rediscovered it and read back a bit. Crazy how similar our lives are. I have 2 sweet boys who are 18 months apart. Boys are great!! Also, we are currently living in Tulsa. I had to comment when i read about your loving to be pregnant...it's like my fav thing ever and i can't wait to do it all over again! Blessings to you and your cute family :)
