month one...

It's hard to believe that a month has passed since this little girl came to us.  She is such a delight. I admit some apprehension when I thought of life with three kids...nights of broken sleep...diapers...fussy times. And it's true; it has been an adjustment. It takes a whole lot longer to get out the door with our little party of five. There are moments when it feels overwhelming. But, it is predominantly good. The times of feeling blessed and thankful far outweigh the crazy times. There is something very precious and uncomparable to a newborn. I think it is multiplied even more because I know she is my last. I find myself getting excited as we are on the brink of receiving her first real smiles, but at the same time, I almost want to freeze her where she's at. Impossible....I know...but at least I'll have memories....and pictures, of course.
