Juice and rest

I was at a loss of words yesterday reading a friend of the familys blog telling the story of her little one. She gave premature birth to a two lb boy named Lincoln. This baby has gone through more challenges in 6 months from his first day of life, than some, more like most, will go through in their entire exisitence.
I never once thought my child would ever have anything wrong with him. During pregnancy, I'd hear worries from family, friends, commercials.. but just knew it wouldn't be my son. He was and still is perfect. Nothing but a million colds, ear infections, and viruses. I feel I don't think of this as often as I should. It is an absolute blessing upon blessing everyday I see my son grow and grow and continue to learn. Every doctors appt I walk out of with nothing but a prescription for juice and rest. Every morning I check on my son to find him fast alseep with his chest still rising and falling exactly how it should. These normalities get over-looked too often and deserve to be observed on every occasion.
My son will always be my favorite. He is what makes me a better mother, sister, daughter, and friend. One day, he will absolutely help define me as a wife to his father. Our family works. We have problems, some big, some silly, but they are ours and our solutions will come from eachother. I love my world we have created and only hope it will get bigger and bigger, especially for my little Zane. He is what has made my world grow. I am so thankful for you Zane, you are a part of my world now, but I hope one day, FAR FAR from now, your father and I will have done everything to give you your own world without limits..

Number one

I have been so inspired by family members posting such beautifully honest bits of their lifes via blogging. The word itself is and was not inticing in the slightest. However, scripting a memory worth not forgetting, or a frustrated haze of thoughts just to be able to exhale, brought me to a conclusion of My simply crazy life. If I am my only follower, I will feel accomplished. This is not a FB update on where I am, what I'm eating, or who I'm with. This is more than that. Hopefully.
