I have been ready to meet my daughter for sometime now.  All the pink and frills have filled my heart with little pig tail excitement.

But it wasn’t really REALLY real until today.

Today our baby doc sent us to the hospital because Leah was 3 centimeters dilated.

As we sat in the hospital it occurred to me that three of us are about to be four.  We will never be three again.  While I am excited about us being four I also want to cherish being three.  I want to take in these last few days and remember what it was like before E came home.

If you have any advice on to drink it all in let me know!

Having children has made me realize how selfish I have been my whole life.  All of a sudden there are little tummy’s who need me to fill them, and little imaginations who want me to play.

Okay, I currently only have one kid, but the next one is about to drop and I couldn’t be more excited.

God absolutely knew what He was doing when he gave us the ability to reproduce.  He knew that we would melt when we walk through the door at the end of the day and a hugfest ensues.  He knew that being parents would make us better people and He knew it would change us.  He knew we would choose them over ourselves every time and slowly our selfishness would burn away like chaff.

I can’t even count how many people told me that “having a kid will change your life”, and it I am so glad it did!

I am thankful for the blessings in my life.

What are you thankful for?
