It's funny to think where my life was exactly one year ago...


I can remember last Thanksgiving so clearly because it was a weekend that changed the course of everything...


I was a little over 7 months pregnant & had just started back at work after being off for Noal's maternity leave...He was only 14 months old & had just started daycare...I had bought "baby girl" her first pair of Mary Janes & was starting to nail down names for her...Life seemed simply & sweet...


Our biggest worry was how we'd adjust to life with two babies...


Little did we know...


Last year at this exact weekend Craig came home with excitement in his eyes & told me he got it...I just remember being swept up in a gigantic hug & being it utter shock at what he was telling me...We were moving...He got an amazing job opportunity in an amazing city...


And I'm always game for a new adventure...


So, a few weekends later we looked at 10+ houses in one day, decided on ours, shipped Craig out, sold a bunch of stuff, had some sad goodbyes & a few weeks after that a new life began...


And then Pip came & well nothing says it better than "It's been one hell of a year"...Never did I ever think we'd go through what we have...That 7+ prego mumma from a year ago hadn't a clue in the world...How could I have really? 


But you know what? If I could I would do it all the same again...I would take on the madness of moving pregnant, alone & with a toddler because where we are today is crucial for Pip's medical needs & development...I would choose not to know about having a baby with Down syndrome beforehand...Because regardless it wouldn't have changed anything for us...



If I had to choose again I'd still choose Pip...


So this Thanksgiving I'm more reminiscing & reflecting on all that's happened in a year, instead of focusing on what I am thankful for as have been trying to do that daily instead...


Although I am & always will be extremely thankful for all that goes down my hatch this weekend...


Happy Thanksgiving Friends....
