Month of Thanks: Day 14

The other day I ran into a friend at the store who saw me with the baby and said,"I'm glad it's you and not me." While I understood what she meant I couldn't help feeling a little sorry for her. Yes, having a baby is hard but I am loving every minute of it. I have given up a lot of time for myself that I had gotten used to having but nothing is as special as holding a newborn baby that has just come from heaven. I realize now that this time is passing way too quickly and soon Skyler won't be a baby anymore. I don't want to look back and regret that I wished this time away. So many days the dishes are left in the sink or the laundry doesn't get folded but I love every second I get to hold this little boy. Soon enough the house will be clean again and I'll have time to do what I want. Today I'm grateful for the moment I'm in right now.
