So Thankful...

As I got home last night at 7:30pm from work, I complained that my feet were hurting from the long day, despite me wearing my dansko shoes. I complained about being tired. I then walked in to the living room, where my beautiful babies were sitting with my husband and I suddenly became thankful for everything I have. I'm always thankful, but this was different. Cory and I argue a lot, but the truth is, I love him more than he knows. I also appreciate him more than he knows. He is such a huge help and he is the best Father i've ever seen. I am also thankful for Ava and Brennan, of course. Being born at 29 weeks, I know their story could have been horrible. I am so thankful for their health and growth. I am thankful for the opportunity to be their Mommy.

I've been reading about and praying for little Kayleigh Freeman. I can't imagine what her parents are going through. NICU is such a rough road alone, but then to find out your child is brain dead and hearing that it's basically "just a matter of time now" has got to be the most horrible thing for a parent to go through. I know these parents have done everything in their power to try to save their precious baby girl, even when others thought it was hopeless. I admire them so much and I don't know them.

So, as my son is lying in his boppy pillow, kicking me and screaming (no tears at all), I am going to hold him, kiss him, and love him because I'm sure that's all he wants anyway. Then, I will hold Ava and do the same, but I'm sure Brennan will get mad, so I'll probably be holding them both.

Please keep the Freeman family in your prayers. Have a great day!
