Grateful Sunday 1-06-08

I am really actually a bit overwhelmed with all the wonderful things i have to be grateful for this week. With all the struggles there are so many more things to be grateful for:

Overabundance of Blessings-It feels as if Kersten and I have struggled for so long and just since Sofia's birth, things we have worked for forever, seem to be coming together and making our life so much more abundant and less stressful

Sofia Caroline-She really is the most adorable, sweet baby. I am bias but she is the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen. She really calms down quickly after her burst of temper. She has brought such a sweet, wonderful feeling into our home. We just can't seem to squeeze, kiss, love and cuddle her enough.

Noah Lawrence-I am so impressed with how my boy is handling all this change. He has been really patient with me and his dad. He really wants to geniunely help with Sofia and he still calls her Shaak-Ti like we all knew he would. I am so blessed to have my two children.

My Kersten- He really has picked up so much slack this week. After Wed he has done everything for our family and just keeps going and going. I asked him if he was getting tired of it and he said "Well I am tired but it is well worth it to have you both". He has changed almost every diaper this whole week, played with Noah, made lunches, put kids to bed and cleaned my wounds over and over (a blog for another day). My love for him has grown in leaps and bounds this week.

Medical Expertise-I am so blessed continuely to have doctors and nurses that really care about me. I have been stretched physically this week in ways I only imagined before now. They are so intelligent and really want what is best for me.

My Friends-I am really very blessed with talented, good friends. I have seen how blessed I am to have so many women and their families that truly care and love us. All the friends who have reached out, in even small ways have made such a diffrence. It has really helped and buoy my spirits. I love all of you so much
