A year ago today we received Alex and it completely changed our lives for the better. My family asked me last year what I wanted for my birthday and I said I wanted a baby, God delivered. So, this year when my mom asked what I wanted for my birthday I told her I wanted a newborn. I had been praying for a newborn for months because I really wanted to experience the whole newborn phase as I didn't get to go through that with Alex. I was working in the ICU on this year anniversary when I got a call from our agency saying a newborn girl was at the hospital and they needed to place her with someone that night. I was absolutely floored as I realized that God had delivered me another very personal birthday present and a little girl at that! Needless to say, I was more than thrilled to be able to take this little one home from the hospital at the end of my shift. I have been in complete and total heaven since, she is beautiful, perfect, and so stinking tiny!! She is a healthy little girl and she SLEEPS!!!!! Alex is so sweet with her, likes to give hugs and he looks for her first thing in the morning.
I am simply blown away at how good God is to me, how personal his blessings are at times. Little E is such a gift from God and the story of how she came to our home has His hand prints all over it. At moments I keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. Life is sure busy but it's very good!
