A year ago today, at this very minute (6:13 AM), I was in the hospital being prepped to have a baby. As you'll remember, Justin and I couldn't agree on a name for him. The only thing we knew for sure when we went into the operating room is that (1) I'd probably get sick and (2) we'd be coming out with a boy. Both things happened and we were wheeled out of the room with Jack Allen (previously named Pierce Allen).
I have no idea where the past year has gone. I'm in awe of the way my life has changed. Nathan and Claire got a brother who they think is nothing but perfect and Jack got a brother and sister, who I believe, will always protect him.
Jack provides our house with laughter and love. We cheer him on each day as he's struggled to reach milestones. We all cheer when he does something as simple as clap, because it isn't always as simple for Jack. We clap when he falls from a standing position because he was just standing.
Jack Meyer, I say this with the biggest tears in my eyes: You have stolen our hearts. You have come so far. You have given us so much worry, but so much love. You are our rainbow of light in dark cloudy days. You, my love, will conquer all. Jack Meyer - you are pure love.
