Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased
Hebrews 13:15,16
Well Aiden is just a day past two weeks and things seem to be settling down, I won't say routine yet since everyday is just a bit different. This last bit of time has been really hard for me, for anyone who knows me, knows I am very independent and so having a C-section has been really hard. Depending on others to drive me around, clean my house, help with laundry and carry the carseat. Yesterday I came to the conclusion that God is trying to teach me something through this and I just need to be patient and open to what that might be.
At this moment I am reminded of how blessed I am:
Blessed first of all that God reminds me everyday through Aiden how loved we are by him.
Blessed that Aiden is healthy, handsome, and a part of both Jeff and I
Blessed that my husband shows me incredible love everyday and is so hands on
Blessed that I can pick up the phone and talk to any of my family or friends when I am feeling down and feel refreshed
Blessed that I have these moments with my baby (even though sometimes I feel myself wishing time away)
My challenge for those of you who read this is to just take a moment to think on the blessings in your life!

Thank you for the challenge. Your words are beautiful. YOur son is gorgeous. I am a friend of Rosanna and that's how I stumbled onto your blog awhile back but now I wanted to comment.
Joc, I love you. I think I am in dire need of some time with you. I would love to sit on a couch and talk... or clean your bathroom for you... or go on a slurpee run... I think of you so much and love you TONNES!!! Can't wait to touch base.
