Gratitude: Day 7


As I sit here thinking about what to type today, Josh is happily singing and doing puzzles right next to me. I have to pause and just smile. I am so grateful for the honor to be Josh's mom! As mentioned in almost every post - this kid is so stinkin' cute! I am so lucky!

After Ryan and I got married, we decided to wait a few years before trying to have kids (looking back I wish we hadn't). When we decided the time was right I was so excited. I started planning a nursery, kids names, etc. Then month after month, nothing happened. I was devastated. Finally after trying for two years, I was pregnant. Unfortunately after nine weeks, I had a miscarriage. I was truly heartbroken.

Luckily, I got pregnant six months later. We, especially Ryan, were nervous that I might have another miscarriage. But after a beautiful blessing from Ryan I found my peace and knew that everything would be alright. Sure enough, Josh was born nine months later. It was the best day!

Josh has brought so much into our home. There is never a dull moment. I have learned so much from him. He is a far better teacher than I am. I know that he will become a great man.

We are so blessed to have Josh in our home. I love you little man!
