this time last year...

...I was feeling extremely nauseous, excited, scared, and overjoyed. This time last year, I needed to tell my husband that we would be having a baby, so I nervously ironed letters on a onesie...the best I could think of in the hour or two I had before he came home from work. 


This time last year, we sat in a restaurant called Mellow Mushroom feeling anything but mellow. We giddily asked each other if this was real, and seriously talked about what we were getting into. 


This time last year, we had no idea who this little baby would be, but we knew that baby Albright was indeed on the way, and that was an intensely joyful thought. 

::::::::::::::::::::::

Today we woke up to a happy, talkative 4 month old baby girl. Today we watched Merit Fey, our baby daughter, roll every which way on the floor, and try her very best to crawl away. Today we loved on her as much as we possibly could. Today, the multitude of smiles in this house has left all of our cheeks sore. Today we thanked the Lord a million times because we realize how so very blessed we are.

Isn't it crazy how much your life has changed in just one year? I bet it's hard for you to even imagine life before little Merit. That's how we feel. What did we do with all that time? :)
