One Day at a Time

I haven't been able to get to my computer in a few days...apparently we had a lot going on...and I don't like to blog on my iPad because I can't type as fast...so while I'm upstairs I'm going to take advantage of a little computer time :) Sweet Kinsley is cuddling with Gigi and our little Abby (well I guess I should say big Abby now) is still sleeping!

One day at a time. This is my new mantra and I'm loving it. The planner in me is going to have to take a break for the next month or so and I'm okay with that. My hubby is probably jumping out of his chair right now because he always wants me to settle down and relax. When I start to think about the next few months I can't even imagine being the mom of 2 young children-it's scary. But when I look at each day new and fresh I'm excited and I know I can take it on with all the challenges and joys. I know that eventually my csection scar will heal and I will be able to pick up Abby again and eventually Kinsley will be sleeping more and I will not feel as tired. Eventually I will be able to cook again and still take care of two babies during the day. Eventually I will be able to travel and visit friends. Eventually...and that's okay. I'm very excited about this season in my life and getting to know our new little family of four.

On the way home from the hospital my hubby and I were discussing the timing of Kinsley's birth (we left the day we were scheduled to have our csection because we delivered early with my gallbladder issues). Before she was born, the planner in me wanted our last weekend to enjoy being a family of three with Abby and finish all those last minute projects around the house. But driving home I realized that we weren't complete without little Kinsley...our family is a family of four or however many God has planned for us...and we aren't complete without her. Those little projects will come and it's okay that Abby's only child days only lasted 10 and a half months. Our family feels complete and we feel complete and whole. Kinsley is the last thing from a burden but a huge blessing and has brought such joy to us. Sure there's a lot more work but this is our family now and Chris and I couldn't be any happier. We went through a lot of emotional ups and downs with the news of the second pregnancy and how close they are but through it all we've realized that our babies are a blessing and we feel nothing but joy with them. God had a plan better than ours and I'm so glad I get to be a part of his plan and not my own. Thank you God for knowing Chris and I better than we knew ourselves.

Sure, we will have crazy days and days where we wonder what we got ourselves into...but one day at a time we will make it!

Here we are! There were a ton of cameras if you can't tell from the picture.
