Where would we be?

I'm still bewildered that I am actually a parent. I was at the Dr's the other day for Nico and on the sign in sheet it asked for your child's name...which I am sad to say I forgot (only for about 10 seconds) hey I am sleep deprived....and then it asked who the mother or father of the child was.....I wrote down my mom's name and then it hit me...I am Nico's mom! Truly amazing when you realize that you are responsible for another living, breathing person.

So today I asked myself where would I be without my parents...they never gave up on me (even when I gave them good reason too) they have walked by me through every painful experience and given me such great comfort...and they have been with me, loving me as I became a parent. My mom keeps saying, "I can't believe my baby has a baby! I just never allowed myself to see you as a parent because we just were so worried about you!" Really, now I understand completely.

Where would I be if I didn't have the parents God chose for me....I would be living a completely different life....full of chaos and pain. Love can change everything.

Okay, okay, I won't get mushy...but just remember to tell someone you love them today. It makes a world of difference.

What the heck, I'm blogging!

Well, I have officially entered the world of technology! Many of you have tried your best to get me here and yes, it took some time and I finally made it! I guess having a new baby, and being very sleep deprived will drive you to do things you thought you might never do!

Nico is 5 weeks old today! Hard to believe that he is growing so fast and time is flying by! Charlie and I continue to be amazed by him and all of his wonder! Today is a great day and we are so thankful to God for this miracle in our lives. Being parents is very humbling! Getting to know this little man is so rewarding.

Okay, well for my first post this is it because there is a hungry man jack calling!
