Today

Today I am trying to take the time to really watch my daughter.  To memorize her little noises, to notice her varied expressions, to listen to her breathe.

Today I am remembering to rest and relax.

Today I am thankful.  As I look at the photos of Samantha's birth day, I am thankful that this little miracle is here and squeaking next to me.

Today I am pensive.  I am remembering with a heavy heart, all of my friends that are still awaiting their living children.  I am trying to be respectful of their pain while still sharing my joy.

Today I am trying not to think about tomorrow.  I want to take in each minute, live in each moment, and enjoy every second of my day with my daughter.
