A Post from the Past

december 29, 2010

last wednesday i came home early from school cause i was sick. a teacher asked me if it was the flu or morning sickness. in my heart i was hoping for morning sickness but i told her that i hoped it was the flu. i took a test on saturday, christmas day. hoping that i would be able to tell my husband that for christmas he was going to be a daddy. but it was negative. i pretty much had excluded the thought of being pregnant. but when nothing happened we decided i should take another test. well today while austin was duck hunting i took another test. looked down, thinking it would say negative and to my shock it said pregnant! the Lord truly works on His own time table. and i'm so grateful that He has allowed us to get pregnant. sure i'm scared to death but i'm also so excited. it really has been the best day ever.


This was a year ago today. It's from my personal blog. I remember this day like it was seriously yesterday. It's hard to even describe the emotions that accompany that day. I can't believe Bridger has been in my life for a year. I heard someone say, about motherhood and their child, "I couldn’t be happier with her for changing a bit of my identity and lifestyle." And I feel the same about my son. There are a lot of things in life that you think "defines" you. Marriage, school, careers, whatever, but it's not until you're holding your sweet little one that you truly know you're definition in this life. Everyday I thank my Heavenly Father for the blessing of having Bridger in my life and that I can be his mother. I'm so excited to see what another year brings. I love you Bridger Travis Dahl!
