This Time Last Year

A year ago today, I was recovering from gallbladder surgery and still felt a little weird.  I couldn't explain it but I knew I couldn't be pregnant.  I mean, before my surgery they'd given me a pregnancy test and it was negative!

We were leaving the apartment to head to some dear friends' wedding reception when I thought to myself "what the heck, just take the test again).  Two little lines later and I was crying over the sink.  I was so scared that the surgery had endangered the pregnancy but our little fighter had other plans.

We are so lucky to have a healthy, happy - and right now sleeping - baby today.

P.S. Call it my first bout of mother's instinct but I just knew something felt off...and I was only a couple weeks pregnant with none of the stereotypical symptoms!
