Cherish this time....

Something to remember and never forget as the road seems so narrow and the air around you so thick. Parenting is a challenge yet also life's most rewarding gift. There are heartaches, tears, smiles, giggles and none of this you could even imagine before you're a parent in your dreams greatest wish. For each day we need to remember you won't be this small for long, parenthood is not a race nor a sprint .....it is a journey we face, and no parenting way is neither perfect nor wrong.
 
A large part of our weekend has been spent soaking up time together. I've caught myself watching the clock thinking we would and could now be 24 hours post op. It's been hard to imagine how it could all be behind us now, yet it was not in God's timing to have it behind us. We are still anticipating and while we have been able to calm our anticipation a little and enjoy this very moment we are in, when it is quiet and I am reflecting all of those feelings come flooding back in. We are enjoying today, now more than ever. When either Brad or I is holding our girl she literally melts right in, curls up on our chest and shows a big pucker lip when we put her down. This week will be a little difficult as life slowly goes back to how it was before, we are still anxious to get that date on the calendar so we can move forward even more.
