Brimming with Pride

There have been lots of changes in our home these past few months, starting with a month of bed rest, then the arrival of sweet Hannah and figuring out a new rhythm as a family of four.

While we were in the midst of crying it out, I started our blog and wrote my very first post. There wasn't a lot to it, but if you're curious, you can find it here. About a month later, with lots of happy success, I wrote an update going into detail about how many days were involved, how soon we saw progress,...
