One of those moments

Ever have one of those moments when you look at where you once were and where you are now and you realize just how far you have come?

With PPD I felt like I was drowning. And I didn't want anyone to know. I thought I was weak. And like my dear friend put it, no matter how hard you try to swim it seems so much easier to just drown.

But today I realized just how far I've come. I have so much more energy. I love my husband more than ever! And we have the best, most adorable little boy in the whole world. Things are far from perfect, but we have our moments of pure bliss. It's in Tug's dimpled smile. It's in Tyler's romantic kiss and warm embrace. It's when I gather my tiny family together to read scriptures and pray together, even when Tug is screaming his head off.

And now I can smile and really mean it. I'm gaining confidence and learning to be happy. It's not easy. But it's worth it.
