Flashback Friday-5 years ago

I am probably committing Flashback Friday suicide and I will never live this down, but oh well, this is the time in my life that is really on my mind right now! We had JUST moved to Maine and I looked like this:
Yes, I know. I WAS HUGE!! Even my nose gained weight! I gained more weight with Kyle than I did with the other three combined! No, not really. I just gained tons! I still can't believe that we moved to Maine when I only had 4 weeks left of my pregnancy. The moving truck came and my mom and I were buried under boxes. It was in the upper 90s that summer and we didn't have an air-conditioner. And I was HOT!!
Then, within a few days of the above picture. Our family became this:
This picture was taken the first time that 16-month-old Nathanael met Kyle. He didn't know what to think!
The next few months were so hard. I remember that my 25th birthday, August 25, was a really hard, almost depressing birthday. I don't even remember now what was so hard about it; I just remember crying! I really, really can't believe that was 5 years ago. Wow!
By Christmas, our family looked like this!

What a crazy, but sweet time in my life. God has done so much in our lives in the past five years. Praise Him for His faithfulness and provision and awesomeness and love and kindness on and on! Praise Him!

You really weren't that huge, at least from that picture! I remember how bad I wanted to be there.
I watched the slide show, too, and that is one good-looking and happy kid. Must have great parents. :)
