Thankful!
This morning I went to MOPS at church and was reminded of how thankful I am for my sweet baby girl. The speaker today was a woman who went through a lot of hardship along her journey in hopes of being a mother. She lost a baby, and then struggled with years of fertility problems and described her life as being in such a dark place. After reaching rock bottom she said that she had come to the point of fully surrendering her dream of being a mom to the Lord and that she would love and serve Him no matter what...baby or no baby! A month after she had given this burden over to Jesus she found out she was pregnant! Such a great picture of God's faithfulness and such an awesome reminder of how much He loves us and knows what we need when we need it most. Whenever I hear stories like this I am overwhelmed with thankfulness in how quickly we got pregnant with Micah. I pray not a day goes by in which I forget to thank the sweet Lord for lavishing His incredible blessings on my family. What a sweet, sweet joy you are Micah Leigh! We love you.

Baby Einstein
So, today was Micah's first day to watch a Baby Einstein video. She absolutely loved it! It was so much fun to watch her little eyes light up at the sight of different shapes and bright colors. She started her adorable little noises too. Those sweet noises are like medicine to my soul! I'm SO thankful for the time that I've had with my sweet angel over the last few months. As my stay-at-home time with her is nearing the end, I am cherishing every moment with her. I'm going to miss staring at her all day and singing the same songs over and over again. Why did I let myself start this? It's not time to be sad yet! I have 3 more weeks before I can officially cry everyday on my blog posts ;)

So long 0-3 months...
This morning was a little sad for me. While Micah was taking her morning nap, I decided to go through her clothes and pack away everything she has outgrown. I didn't realize this would make me so sad! I love that she is growing (don't get me wrong) but it just caught me off guard a little bit with how fast my little angel is growing. As I packed away each little outfit, I was reminded of so many memories with her in those cute little clothes. I think her little gowns were the hardest thing to pack away. I remember putting her in those little things when she came home from the hospital! They were so incredibly big on her and her arms would get lost in the sleeves. Slowly but surely they started to fit her and I would be amazed at how fast her little body was growing. Sweet memories :)
