Counting my blessings!

Today as I was getting ready for church I just felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for what is going to come in a few months. I feel too blessed at this point in my life and I am so grateful for a Nanna that the kids adore and get to be with and learn from. I have an amazing husband who loves me no matter what I throw at him and thinks that even with 30 pounds of baby weight I am still beautiful, and who is the most amazing Dad! I love hearing the laughter of my children as they run around as free as the day is long without a worry in sight. I never thought I would be capable of loving little people so much:). I look forward to what a new spirit will bring to this family and I am getting so excited to hold that new born baby. I just wanted to count my blessings and remember this feeling.

It's amazing how knowing that a baby is coming changes your world, from the very moment you know. I know how you feel, as you want to see him and hold him and get acquainted. You have been a remarkable Mom from the get-go! We love you!
