For the last 17 hours I have either been crying, or about to cry. My mind and heart are so full of thoughts I can't control my emotions.
On my blog list, I follow the Denhalters. If you haven't read her last posts you should. I won't share the details, her words are far more touching then mine would be anyway, but take time and read it. Last nights post really touched me. She is just a few weeks away from delivering her special boy, and here I am being thoughtless.
I can recall one occasion where I specifically thought, I hope our baby is healthy. That was when we went to get the ultrasound. Since then I just knew he was and that was it. Reading their blog I was rudely awakened to my ungratefulness to the perfect baby that is growing in me. I pray that he will continue to grow, and that we will be ready for him, but I have neglected to thank my Father in Heaven for how healthy our son is. I hadn't even thought about not returning home with out a baby, and here she is trying to keep that as far away from her mind as possible.
The perfect timing is this. I had thought Rush was going to be coming at a bad time. Who wants to have a Christmas baby? But honestly what a better time for me to go through the holidays having something I can really be thankful for, and the best gift anyone could receive.
I am thankful.

Thank you so much for your letter! You are so sweet...I really promise it is people like you who make me think, "I can really do this!" So your letter really meant more to me then I can express. I was the exact same way about taking my healthy babies for granted! You just don't think about those things sometimes, but Heavenly Father sure has a funny way of teaching us about life. Thank you again for your sweet words of encouragement. They were much needed and much appreciated.
