A Whole Year

Can you believe it's been a year since this post:  Mark 1:11?

Wow it has been an emotional year!  I can't believe all that has happened.  Crazy that I just felt comfortable talking about being pregnant 14 weeks ago  and now have and (almost) 4 week old, little Corbin to cuddle with.  Sure makes a pregnancy fly by!  Ha!

I'm ALMOST done with my injections!  It's like the song that never ends! Ha!  A few weeks to go.

This was such a lonely time last year.  We had just moved here and were dealing with the loss of our little boy, with no support system.  So I just want to give a little shout out to a few:

1.  God.  We've leaned on you so much this year.  Thank you for always sneaking answers to our questions in our daily lives.  Thank you for reveling the many blessings we have in our lives to us daily.  And thank you for the peace you've given me on the multiple accounts of shocking news we've dealt with this year.

2. John.  I'm so thankful it was you who bought me that first beer (of the night, he he) at NorthGate almost 9 years ago today.  See, you really can meet your husband at a bar! ;)  Thank you for being such an understanding, supportive and loving husband.  Once again, our love and relationship has grown through this struggle.  I love you so much!

3. My Mom.  Thank you mom for always being my BFF to talk with about everything going on in my life.  You are a constant encourager.  Your unconditional love is always comforting.  I love you mom!

4. Friends and Family.  Thank you for your constant prayers!  We love you guys!

Crazy what can happen in a year!

Reflecting, do I feel totally happy and fine with what happened?  No.  Still a lot to think about.  Even a year later.

Do I see the amazing blessings we have in our lives?  TOTALLY!

And this may sound strange, but after delivering Corbin, my doctor told me "See, you were made for this.  You were made to be a Mama."  Still makes me tear up thinking about.  Best words she could have said to me.

I guess, the one thing in my life I've always known, is that I wanted to be a Mom to multiple children.  And I was feeling like maybe I wasn't made to have my own children.  Yes, I had Carter, but that still went through my head a lot.

OH so I guess I should also give a shout to:

5.  Canadian Public Health Care's FINE Doctors, Specialists and Nurses.  What an amazing Health Care System they have here.  They helped us through a lot this year!  THANK YOU!
