525,600 Minutes

"525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.

525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love."

One year ago today we found out that we were expecting! Read about it here. So much can change in 525,948.766 minutes (the exact number of minutes in a year, according to Google). Last year at this time we were:

-packing our bags, getting ready to spend 2 weeks in Scotland, England, and Belgium.
-trying hard to keep our big news a secret until the doctor confirmed the pregnancy.
-wondering whether this new little life would be a boy or girl.
-reading as much as we could about pregnancy.
-amazed by the miracle of life!

This July 12th we are:

-amazed at all the things Maggie can do . . . smiling, laughing, babbling, rolling over.
-hurting when Maggie is sick or sad.
-planning our schedule around Maggie's.
-loving every minute with Maggie!

It's amazing all of the changes that can happen in one year. I can't believe that next July Maggie will be walking and talking. Maybe she'll even have a head full of hair by then!
