My BIG Little Life

Some may find my blog boring and somewhat mundane because it is simply a documentation of the 'happenings' in my life, which is why I call it "My Big Little Life." It's a huge and happy life to me, but my family is what makes it huge and happy. I love that friends and family read my blog, but it's certainly not an expectation. If you do read it I hope you can get a sense of how I live and what makes me happy.

I Feel So Blessed

Here I sit, feeling baby Laine move and move inside me at 35 weeks pregnant. I just read a woman's heart wrenching blog a few minutes ago about her son, Isaac that was born at 29 weeks and 4 days weighing only 1 lb. 7oz. He passed away after being in their lives, hooked up to machines and fighting for his life for 4 weeks. With tears in my eyes, I have to remember never to take my blessings for granted. Why do some people have uneventful and smooth pregnancies and other people, people who have been trying to conceive for a long while, have such difficult ones? It doesn't make any sense and it's not fair. The faith this couple has is so admirable and the love they have for each other is unbreakable. The good news is, they just adopted a healthy baby boy, Gavin. They are so happy beyond words. He is perfect in every way and they are the perfect parents to this baby boy. I met Melissa and Zo through Sydney, Kyle's step sister. Melissa is Jason's sister and Jason is Sydney's new husband. Wonderful couple... I just had to write about them as sort of a tribute to them-- how strong they are!
