Two Weeks

Sleepy Head

 Two weeks have passed since our little man entered our lives in a visible manner. I am still bubbling over with joy. I am so thankful he is here- out of me and in my arms. I love watching him, holding him, kissing him. . .

I am thankful

1. To be done being pregnant. Some women are pregnant gracefully and beautifully. I am not. I retain so much water and feel huge. 
2. To have had my husband home for the first two weeks- he has helped so much. He only has to work two days this week due to holidays- which makes for even more free days. Yay! 
3. How well Karlis sleeps at night. He eats 2 or 3 times- but I just sleep through that. 
4. How well he sleeps during the day- he takes several very long naps. 
5. I love his alert moments- and seeing him look at me so curiously and today he even smiled. 
6. For how Daniel loves helping with Karlis- bringing clothes, diapers, putting his pacifier in, etc. 
7. For a wonderful nanny when we need her help. 
8. For springtime- my kids spend most of every day outside now when Daddy is home. 
9. For how well I feel and that I can start cooking and caring for my household again. This is the best I have felt after any of my births. Yay for water births!
10. For the good memories of birth I have this time around- for how much easier it was. 
11. That my parents will be here in 3 weeks! 
12. For our three healthy children- and that somehow God will give us wisdom to raise them. 
13. For friends who have brought us food and supported us. 
14. For God's provision for our family.
