Pure bliss....that is how I would sum up becoming a mommy. Motherhood was all I dreamed it would be. I'm not yet ready to say that I am GLAD we endured infertility (I still wish we could have done it the "natural" way). I can say,though, if that's what it took to get me here, at this very moment, with the most precious baby in the world, then I am beyond thankful. Since I was on leave the second semester of that school year, I was able to soak in all that I could of Harrison. God blessed us with a very easy-going baby. It took a lot to get his feathers ruffled. He was a super sleeper from the start, a great eater, and cried very little. Thank goodness! Bare with me, this post is basically a scrapbook of Harrison's life thus far. He truly was (and is) all Jason and I dreamed of all those long, difficult years! God heard the prayers of so many, and answered them in one beautiful, precious boy named Harrison Scott Pierce!

If that was all there was to our story, then it could be said that our difficult days were behind us. After all, we had what we always wanted. God wasn't finished with the Pierce family yet. NOTHING (I'm screaming that) could prepare us for what was to come.....
