Blessed

These past few weeks have been so wild - the craziest days of my life by far. I've definitely experienced some of the most exciting, exhausting, emotional moments of my 26 years...and I've only been a mom for a month! Wow. There is so much more in store, I know.

Lately I have had this overwhelming feeling of blessedness (is that a word?). I am just reminded time and again that I have SO MUCH to be thankful for. Just three things I feel so blessed by...

*I have an amazing husband. It is so much fun watching him be a daddy.
*Family and friends are unbelievable. Love. Meals. Gifts. Encouragement. Watching Clara while I sleep. What would I do without you? Thank you!
*Friends that are moms are a gift from God. I really don't know where I'd be right now without the encouragement and advice from those who've walked this path before.

Just few pictures from the last week or so...
Dressed up for a shower (matching - cheesy, I know!)
Falling asleep with Daddy, an almost daily occurrence
At the Krochet Kids Banquet - she slept like a champ!
Look at her chubby cheeks! She's changing so fast!

You two both look great. (I especially like your jewelry!) You feel blessed, but you are also A BLESSING to everyone who knows you. :)

Amy! You look amazing! I can't wait to meet Clara, she is so precious. I'm glad you're enjoying motherhood even through the mastitis, infections and exhaustion. Clara is lucky to have such wonderful parents :)

Hi Amy!
I had fun reading about your delivery. The first couple of weeks are so intense but life is so fun with a newborn. Thanks for reminding me about how much we are all blessed. Just an FYI, if you're still on antibiotics, check Clara for thrush because it passes through your milk. I had a lot of the same issues with my daughter too. I'd love to catch up with you sometime.
