about this exact time, I found out I was pregnant! What a fun day that was!
I was looking through all my pregnancy pictures, reminiscing. I don't have very many. Looking at them I can remember exactly what I was feeling at that time. I was so full of fear. Oh how I wish I would have known how amazing Cayman would be. I did not know how to process the devastating news that our baby might not live. We just went through each day trying to feel as little as possible to keep from breaking under the pain of it all. I am sure that is the reason why we did not get the camera out very often. We're making up for that now. We have over 2000 pictures of Cayman.
One year ago, we did not realize the journey we were just starting. It has been full of a lot of pain and fear, but has brought us to a greater joy than we have ever known.
I credit that completely to God and to Cayman...and to Mike...I cannot forget my husband. He has been amazing this past year.
One Year Ago today...

Kristen,
This has definitely been a year of mixed emotions, but the joy that Cayman has brought to us far surpasses any sorrow. We love her so much.
You need a disclaimer before you watch this video to watch it at home. I'm at work and have used up all of my tissues and now have to go to other people's desks with red, swollen eyes to take theirs.
Wait until you see the neon-blinking bunny ears we got for Cayman yesterday at Cedar Point!
Kristen-
What a beautiful journey you have been on. And the pain that you felt early on can only make the joy you feel now that much stronger. You are an inspiration an example of what a mother should be. I can only think how different this world would be if there were more mothers like you. Cayman is truly blessed to have you and Mike as parents. She is such a little miracle and I am sure she will continue to touch the world in a most beautiful way.
That was a beautiful video and I just loved that song...can you tell me the name of it and who sings it? Thanks and God bless your family!
Kristen,
Everytime I look at your blog it reminds me so much of the journey that my husband and I have taken and will continue to take with our daughter. Cayman is such a beautiful little girl. She has a spirit in her that I see in both you and Mike. I wish you and your family the best!
