Today is my 29th birthday! I am starting the last year of my twenties and it couldn’t possibly feel more special. I will always remember this birthday as the one where I was pregnant with this sweet little baby. In the last year of my twenties, I will be growing a beautiful baby and then welcoming it into this world. I can’t begin to even explain how happy I am to turn 29.
This is the year that I finally become a Mom.
I am so happy that we decided to share the news about Baby Schrank this week. It’s so fun to be able to celebrate both my birthday and the little babe with my people (finally!) It makes all the birthday fun even more special! The celebrations just keep on coming this week and I love it.
My 29th year has been the most transformative year of my life. I struggled hard. At times I felt hopeless. But I also found out that we were pregnant! There were highs and lows, but it all brought me to where I am right now. Through all the struggles, I knew that the pain I was feeling would never compare to the joy that would be coming. God’s timing is always perfect!
It occurred to me last week that this is the last birthday I will celebrate without a BABY! Isn’t that crazy? I think about my future birthdays and how old Baby Schrank will be at each one, and how we will celebrate my birthday as a family. We are so blessed! I can’t wait to share my life’s special days with our future baby. You are already so loved baby! I can’t wait to celebrate all my birthdays (and everything else in life!) with you and our little family.
