It's the Small Things in Life....

As the season's change, and the holidays are approaching, I often find myself filled with anxiety, worry, and thankfulness.  Is it possible to be filled with so many different emotions?  Brian and I have finally made the decision to begin a family.  I have wanted nothing more in my life than to be a Mommy, and cannot wait for this day to happen for us. However, the thought of this life changing wonderfulness has me scared to death!  I worry that I won't be able to be the kind of Mom that I want to be or that I won't be able to protect my children from all things bad. 

With this being said, I have recently stumbled upon a blog, Byrd's Nest.  It is a family's journey of dealing with their sick little girl, Lydia.  I hope, that one day, I can have the strength and faith to protect and love my children as Lydia's Mom has done.  Stacey, Lydia is smiling down from Heaven at you knowing that you were the best and most perfect Mom for her.  God Bless you in the days and years ahead, but may your documentaries of your time with Lydia help to make each day a little easier.  You are such an inspiration to Mom's everywhere :)
