How Sweet It Is, To Be Loved By You

In five days my baby boy will be three. It was three years ago that I gave birth to Mark's first born son and to Emma's first sibling. It was three years ago that my doctor announced in the operating room that, "It is a big, healthy BOY!" Then they cleaned up my boy and gave them to his father while they put me back together. Soon enough they handed me my baby boy and wheeled us both back to our room. Shortly after, our baby girl came to meet her baby brother. That was three years ago...

I want to stop, and thank you baby
I just want to stop, and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
P1010236

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
P1010237

Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
P1010239

But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
P1010241

I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
P1010243

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you.

I thank God and honestly this song reminds me of Him. How sweet it is to be loved by God. He is the one for which all of this was possible. He is the one who gave me first Mark, then Emmaline and then Davis. He is the one and only. How sweet it is.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Indeed, how sweet it is.

Thanks. I can not believe how little my Emma looks. You expect it from a newborn to a three year old. It shocks you to see the four year old to almost seven, how different she is.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
