I have been feeling so grateful, after I have a baby I am always a little emotional and I keep thinking of all the great people who have helped me so much. My first and most wonderful blessing is my dear husband. He is so kind and thoughtful. I have been amazed these last few days, he was mom to the girls and took care of me, he does all of this patiently and with a good sense of humor:)
I am grateful for my daughters. Each one of them is such a special girl. Anna has been my right hand for much of this difficult pregnancy and is now helping me around the house and with little Gabe; every day she gets him a new outfit with matching hat. She's keeping him in style!
Beka, as always, is full of fun and energy. She keeps life exciting. She's totally in love with her new brother and she's sweet about getting his diapers or what ever he needs. She loves to hold Gabe. It's one of the few times she'll sit still.
Emma is a little joy to have around. She loves to sing and make us happy. She loves her new brother. She's getting very good at touching softly and playing pat-a-cake.
I am also grateful for my extended family: my wonderful in-laws who stayed at the house with the girls while I was in the hospital and then took Beka and Emma to their house, to Derek and Eva who also watched the girls for us, and for my mom who just arrived and will stay for two weeks to help me out. It's really giving me time to rest up and get feeling better. I feel so taken care of. Not to mention all the family and friends who have brought by meals, I am so thankful for all their help too.
Lastly, of course, I am Grateful to have a healthy, beautiful son. He is such a blessing to our family and brings us all so much happiness.
