Count your Blessings!

Tonight I had to have a reminder of how special blessings are. We have started a new school year with Noah and of course that means trying to get into another school routine. So most days we spend arguning about doing his work and so far we have not really started school until after lunch because all morning long he is just laying and whining at his desk. So by the time bedtime comes around, I am spent! I just want me time and to have peace and quiet. Lately though, Noah wants to "cuddle" at bedtime. I have been so frustrated that I start out telling him NO but in the end I go lay with him. Tonight was the night that I realized how important these times are.

I prayed to God for my son and he answered my prayers! I wanted nothing more than to be a mother my entire life! Its the only thing I ever knew I wanted to do as an adult that did not change.

When I lost my first baby Kyle, I was devastated, I could not figure out why God would allow this to happen to me. He was born July 11, 2003 at 16 weeks.

After many tears and lots of prayers again, I found out July 4, 2004 that I was gonna have a chance to be a mom again. I was extatic but so scared. So when I had my Noah Rhylee, February 21, 2005 I was overwhelmed.

So tonight I just had one of those "lightbulb" moments. That although I like my time, I love my son so much more and before I know it he is going to be grown up and not going to want to"cuddle" with mom anymore.

So, remember to count your blessings. :)
