Blessed

Since this is my journal as well as my blog I just wanted to write a little post about how blessed we are. Sometimes I lay awake at night worrying about everything; the baby, the kids, money, health, the preschool, you name it, I worry about it. The other night I was doing that and decided that instead I would name all the things I am blessed with. WOW! The list was so much longer than my worries. This weekend I was having some really bad cramping and was so worried I was going into labor. I went early with both of my kids so I kind of have a phobia about going too early with this baby. The cramps just kept getting worse and I really didn't know what to do. I finally prayed for guidance and felt that if I needed to go to the hospital, the Lord would let me know. I am feeling much better today and have realized that this time around I am going to have to take it easy. I am so excited to be welcoming another baby into our family. For the longest time I felt that life was complete with our 2 kids, now I can't imagine life without this sweet baby girl. We are so blessed to have 2 healthy kids and one on the way. We are so blessed to have a beautiful home, a great extended family, wonderful friends, jobs, the list goes on... I know that this is probably a little too serious for blogging, but I just felt I couldn't go any longer without saying how grateful I am for the blessings in my life.

Yes, take it easy. What a blessing babies and children are. Really, life would be so extremely dull/unfulfilled without them. Take care of yourself.
