In the last two weeks I...
- had a beautiful baby girl
- turned 27
- lost nearly 30 pounds (I think the scale might be lying.)
- discussed at length little silly things like house temperature...along with other new parent obsessions
- have muttered prayers of thanksgiving more times than I can count
- have muttered prayers for sleep MANY times
- have cringed while watching our grocery money go towards diapers (thankful for gift cards!!)
- have cried at the drop of a hat time and time again (I'm OK.)
- have adjusted to one schedule, only to see it change the next day. Similarly, I have discovered one way to soothe a crying (temperamental by God's design) baby, only to have it not work three hours later
- could have started a pharmacy in my kitchen
- have wished for more hours of daylight
- have taken multiple naps on a daily basis
- have let my desire for home cleanliness take a back seat
- have struggled to find time for a shower, and have forgotten to eat until supper
- have discovered daily pure delight in someone so small

Deb your life looks so different in just two weeks! I'm so thankful every day for the gift and blessing of Hope. And so much of me wants to drop my job, come up and clean your house, and help out around the edges! I cant wait to meet her and my heart goes out to you - love you friend!
