Our little blessing


I frequently read online message boards and blogs related to pregnancy and parenting. I love reading what about other parents experience both good and bad. So of course, I also come across sad stories that break my heart. This past week, I came across the most emotional blog to date. If you read her blog and twitter updates, I recommend having a tissue on hand. Long story short, she lost her son about 12 hours after he was born this weekend after months of knowing he wouldn't make it. Jason and I discussed her story several times over the weekend and hugged Brody constantly.

We really just sat back and realized how truly blessed we are. We were able to conceive a child and carry him to term (and beyond). He's healthy and fantastic. We are truly lucky to have him. There are so many families out there who have had struggles we haven't had to endure. I am truly in awe of the strength of those women.

For everything in my life, I am truly grateful.
