Bliss

I know that you are supposed to title your bllogs and I have been thinking about what to title this first blog back from having Grigg. Some of my ideas have been "Back from the baby bubble"' "Boobworld" "Oh sleep where have you gone" but I think this is the best title for this past few days. We have been through so many different emotions these few days but the best has been the sheer bliss of having a child. We feel so blessed to have this healthy beautiful baby boy. A few nights in the early morning hours as he is sleeping in my arms I think "why have we been picked to have this blessing when there are people out there that are desperate for a child?" I have come to understand that God has a better plan and saw the need for this baby in our life. It is tranforming beyond the physical and mental aspect. It is an indescribable life shift that has melted my heart and brought a new definition to even Mike and my relationship. He is the perfect addition to our lives.

There are so many "thank yous" that need to be said' to the Maurer-Greens for the special treats and the birthday celebration, to the Morsbergers for just always being there no matter what we need, To Mahin for being my boob guru and basically saving the life of my boobs. To mike for just being a great brother and cheering us on, to Matt and Jessie for poking the baby and just being excited, and to our buddies Ang and J for the late night grocery drop off and some fun medicated laughter that was much needed. To the pool girls for being awesome all the time, and most importantly to our parents for being there and supporting us in any way possible including luna bars, boob bags, just holding the baby when we need a break and lovingly reminding us that God will never give us more than we can handle. and to all of our other family and friends that have supported us through this new experience.

We will post more stories as the baby fog clears.
