A thankful heart

What a fitting holiday to have right after I bring this sweet baby boy home. How could I not be grateful? I had a great pregnancy, a fairly smooth delivery, and the most perfect little angel sent to me. Jared and I talk a lot about everything that could have gone wrong and our hearts are so full when we look at how perfect he is. We are truly blessed parents.

At this time, I just want to say how grateful I am for such a loving, understanding, & supportive husband. I really couldn't have made it through this first week without him. He has endured sleepless nights, crying spells, pure exhaustion and on top of all that... a very emotional wife. He has kept me grounded through all this and been nothing but supportive as I try and figure all this out. I finally feel like we are getting the hang of things and last night he finally slept through the night with only 1 nighttime feeding. To me, this is a success.

How grateful I am for prayer and the comfort it brings me. It helps me get through the days when I worry about doing everything right. What a joy motherhood has been already and it is only day 6. I can't believe that I am finally a mother. What a great blessing the Lord gives us as he sends his children to us to raise. What a great holiday season it has been already to remind me of all the great blessings I truly have.
