Today I’m thankful for:
– my soft belly…because that means I carried a baby.
– my 5 inch scar on my tummy…because that means she got out safely.
– my house that now seems small…because there’s another tiny human that shares our space.
– the extra loads of laundry that pile around the house…because that means I played instead of doing a load of whites.
– night time wakings…because that means I get to hold her.
– dirty diapers…because that means her insides work 
– loud cries and screams…because that means she’s breathing.
– the tiny handprints on my windows….because that means she was born with both of them.
– the hours I chase after her…because that means she has two working little legs.
– for the house that’s messy, the car that’s messy, the toys all around…because that means I have child who fills my home with nothing but joy.
To my friends, friends of friends, family who are dealing with the birth defects, illness of a child, or a loss of a child…know that your story is one that will never be taken for granted.
To my friends, friends of friends, family who have been blessed with a child who’s with you now…celebrate the little things.
And be thankful for those things…TODAY.
Thanks for putting it in perspective! I needed that. Since I was up way too early trying to crawl out from under my piles of clean laundry that hasn't been folded or put up yet. Thank you!
Well said ! You're such a kind and positive person ! Thank you for that post !!

you made me very thankful for all the things that drive me crazy.
i might even cut and copy it to another page to keep it out where i can read it.
Amen sista!! I have to step back when Morgan has a total meltdown in the middle of Target & remind myself that as frustrated as I am, I have a healthy daughter that has the ability to 1)WALK, 2)TALK & 3)have a meltdown because she knows she's tired/hungry/bored & wants to be able to convey all this to me. I wouldn't change a thing. I have the soft belly & 5 inch scrae too….
scrae = scar…hee-hee….
