Thankful

   I was driving home by myself the other day (which actually gives me time to think for once) and was thinking how thankful I am for everything I have. When Jacob was born, he was so sick that I started preparing myself for the worst and I didn't let myself get attached to him immediately like I did with my other 2. I emotionally tried to keep my distance from him, but of course over the next 3 weeks, I couldn't help but fall in love with my baby. I cried alot and prayed alot during those weeks and I remember really putting my faith into God at that time to help me through everything. As a matter of fact I don't think I have ever been more at peace with God than I was at that time. I knew He would get me through whatever I had to face. When I think back about all that, it makes me realize that I really need to refocus on my faith and count my blessings. Even in the lowest points in our lives, we still have so much to be thankful for!

    I love this post! I remember feeling the exact same way when Noah was in the NICU for all those days after he was born. I felt like a bad mom because I didn't feel attached to him, mostly because I was scared. But looking back, God brought everything together, and it's actually one of the best times I can remember in my marriage as well.

    I actually have been very anxious this morning, and decided just to TRY to hand it over to God. Glad you're feeling the same way... XO
