An Unforgettable Year

This time last year our lives were forever changed by one little word, PREGNANT.  I'd had two tests come back negative over the 4 weeks before that so, I was completely shocked that we were going to have a baby!!  Some of my favorite moments/memories have occurred over the past twelve months.  October 5th will always be a happy day in the Gooding household....it's the day we found out we were going to be parents.  We have had highs and lows.....but on April 19th we were blessed with a beautiful, healthy and very happy baby boy that we named WILLIAM JAMES.  Life is good...and everyday is better than the one before!

October-  Gordon's first words were "really?" and then Congratulations!  I remember LOL since we both deserved a congratulations
November-  At 12 week preggo we finally told our friends and extended family over Thanksgiving.
December-  It's A Boy!
January- Healthy baby at anatomy scan and nursery room shopping.
February- My 30th birthday!
March- Two baby showers and the bedrest fun started.
April-  William made his debut at 3 lbs 14 oz.
May-  Came home from the NICU on May 16th.
June-  Lots of cuddling at home and first wedding in Dallas!
July- First 4th of July, mom back to work and beach trip.
August- Hanging out with the nanny during the day and mommy and daddy at night.
September-  First time to the lake, sip and see in Texarkana, and 1st trip to Midland.

The night I told Gordon I was pregnant we had Pronto's for dinner.  So, Friday night, one year later, the three of us went to dinner at Pronto's.  We've had a nice relaxing weekend at home.  Just the three of us!!  William and I have been a little under the weather so it was nice to not do anything.  We did finally venture out today to enjoy this nice, cool fall weather.  We grabbed a Spiced Pumpkin Latte and walked around Memorial Park.  Can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us....this past one was pretty awesome!
