You wouldn't think the two would go together, pregnancy and war, but oh, they do. From the minute I started even thinking my body might be hosting a new life in the near future, I started preparing.

The Best Year
Chalk it up to God's perfect timing, love, and kindness, but I have had the best year of my entire life thus far.
