Grateful

I am SO GRATEFUL that our daughter is perfectly HEALTHY. We were both healthy throughout my pregnancy...during the delivery there were no complications, she was born perfect, and has never had any health issues whatsoever.

I know there are so many things that can go wrong...anywhere along the line. What a blessing it is to not have the stress of having a baby with health complications.

Today Olivia had her 3-week Doctor's appointment. Her last one was 2 weeks ago...she weighed 8.13 lbs and today she weighs 9.13... 1 whole pound in 2 weeks!! YEAH!!

Something else I am so grateful for is my HUSBAND. I'm really not sure how single parents do it! Every now and again I have days when I feel so exhausted and drained. On these days I feel especially relieved to have Wes by my side to entertain Olivia, put in some laundry, or to run to the store for me.

It is amazing to notice how Olivia recognizes who her mom and dad are...just the sound of our voice will often sooth her. She loves to cuddle with her mom and lay on her dad's chest.

Our lives have been enriched so much by her sweet spirit.
