I have been having moments. Like today while driving home from my final in lab. I got to thinking. One thought lead to another. Pretty soon I was OVER COME with happiness.
I have been feeling like that a lot lately. I can't describe it as anything other than pure happiness. I am happy about lots of things.
Grace is the light of my life. I know all moms say that. Sometimes I wouldn't describe her as "my light", but right now, she is. Everything about her is just wonderful. She says such interesting things. She is learning new things everyday. She is starting to get scared of things, she is starting to enjoy others. She is learning all about Santa Clause. Her response to almost everything is "in TWO minuets (with her two fingers held up)". I just want to hug and squeeze her all the time. Sometimes, if I am lucky, we will be cuddling. She will look up at me and say "I love you mommy". Spencer cuddles with her, and he says "your special and your mine". Grace always, and mean ALWAYS says it back. Even if she is asleep she will whisper it back to Spencer. One time I tried to say it to her. She promptly told me that I'm NOT daddy, and that I should NOT be saying that. Life is just happy with Grace around.
I am also so happy about my husbands job. I hate to say that, because things are just so unstable right now in the job world. But for now. I am happy, and grateful for his job. I am happy that he is the type of person that can be happy just about anywhere. He is a content man, and for that I am happy.
I am happy about being pregnant. With Grace it was such a surprise. I didn't really get a happy feeling till she came out. I didn't enjoy getting fat, and I didn't enjoy being pregnant. BUT, this time is SO different. I wanted to be pregnant, and I am ready. I love growing (even if it is in places that aren't my belly). I love feeling the baby move. I love going to the doctor. I love everything about this baby. It makes me SO happy to think about Grace and another baby girl. We love Grace so much, how much better to have another girl.
I am happy about this Christmas Season. I started feeling the Christmas spirit MUCH earlier than I even have. There have been so many tender moments.
I am just plain and simple HAPPY. I know there are times when happiness is hard. But isnt is so delightful when you are just graced with happiness. It is such a wonderful blessing, and I want to soak it in for as long as I can!
"happiness is like a butterfly;
the more you chase it
the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention
to other things, it will
come and sit softly on
your shoulder."

I'm happy for you and having another baby girl! This post just made ME happy! :)
I am totally with you! I love being happy. Life is just better when you are happy and appreciate everything that you have. That is so exciting that you are having another girl! Grace is the cutest little thing and it seems like she will have so much fun being a big sister!
I'm really happy for you! Nothing is better than having joy in your life!
Nice post. Kids are cute - gotta love the fun / sweet things they say :D I love to watch their personalities blossom :D
Your post was beautiful! Just reading it gave me a content happy feeling.
Hey girl, your post was so sweet!! Sounds like you guys must be doing something right :)
The more natural you can birth the better in my opinion!!! The recovery is so much better, the birth is so much more spiritual, and the baby seems so much happier! I think the biggest thing that made my birth so special though was that I knew my husband and I were calling the shots. With my first I felt like my dr ran the whole show and I had no choice in the matter. This time my midwives/doctors and I trusted each other and nature, and things turned out just fine. I went to a class with them and they gave me a thing that said "trust birth" which I loved. It's as simple as that, we're the only ones that complicate it and if you want to do things naturally then it's all up to you. I get that it's not for everyone but no one can deny that I loved every moment (even the intense ones) of the experience. It was awesome :) if you ever wanna chat or are down because everyone thinks you're crazy for trying let me know! It's one of my favorite subjects, in case you couldn't tell!
