Everyone has a Christmas they'll never forget. It might have been when you were 7 years old when you got your first Cabbage Patch doll or when you were 15 and got your own phone in your room or even your first diamond necklace from your fiance. I had many Christmas' growing up that will always stick in my mind, but this year, Christmas was unforgettable.
J and I have been through ALOT the last few years, but it's definitely brought us closer than ever and a stronger couple. I have no doubt we could get through anything. Since we weren't sure when we'd have time to be alone over the holiday weekend, we cheated and opened our presents on Thursday night. I was glowing when he handed me a velvet box. And inside, a journey pendant; representing all that we've been through..and better yet, what's to come! I love him.
We had our Christmas wish and it was granted a month earlier with our positive pregnancy result. However, we couldn't tell anyone until now and it was really hard! Our Christmas cards went out after our 8 week appointment when we saw the heartbeat for the second time, but the cards didn't make it to the Miller family. They had to wait until Christmas Eve when we could break the news to them in person.
My mother announced we'd open presents before dinner and of course everyone was like "why are we opening presents now?!" So the last present to be opened was for my grandparents from J and I. It was a picture frame that said Great Grandparents. My grandmother opened it and she was a bit confused, but my aunts and cousins definitely were not. It took a few minutes to set in and then the screams, the tears and the jumping up and down started! The reaction on my family's faces was unforgettable. The joy in their tears was so very touching. And the love I felt from them....I can't wait for Baby Barrett to be a part of that.
I am so very blessed this Christmas and love my family and friends more than ever!
