One Year Ago

One year ago today, I was in a very different place. I was hopeful, doubtful, excited and scared. I was doing everything I could, like eating well, injecting myself and patching myself up with all sorts of meds, doing acupuncture, working out, destressing as much as I could.

One year ago today, I was at the far-away clinic. Mr. P and I talked about the what ifs, the maybes, the we hopes. We thought about Plan B while we hoped for Plan A.

One year ago today, I saw the Critter for the first time. She was just a thawed Day 5 4BB blast then, her image projected up on the wall of the transfer room. I thought she was a he.

One year ago today, the Critter and I became one for awhile. She was transferred into my ute, and thankfully she snuggled in tight, for the long 39 week haul.

One year ago today, although I didn't know it for sure at the time, I became a mom, and my life changed forever.

One year ago today. It is a day I'll never take for granted and surely a day I'll never forget.
