Gratitude

I have a lot on my mind tonight. Most of it comes down to a huge feeling of gratitude. Tonight I feel grateful...

I have had a friend and a family member, both find out this week, bad news on a hopeful pregnancy. negative.

A family friend, who's little 2 year old was diagnosed with leukemia

I just read a story off my friend, Aubrey's blog about a family that lost their baby girl at 32 weeks pregnant. She had heart complications, downs syndrome, and wasn't growing. It was faith building to read her story and read how her testimony grew from her trial.

Life is hard. We all have our trials. Different degrees, different times, but trials no less.

So tonight, I am grateful. I am grateful for

*A healthy baby, kicking, growing, with a healthy, beating heart
* The opportunity to carry my babies and have uncomplicated pregnancies
{even with as hard as I've tried to make this one as complicated as possible}
*Two healthy, beautiful baby girls
*A loving husband, who is hard working, an amazing father, and my best friend
*The gospel in my life. The plan of salvation. And for the hope that these bring to my life

As difficult as pregnancy can be, there is nothing like being able to feel your baby growing and kicking inside of you and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It is easy to complain and feel like this is the hardest thing, but I know it is a blessing that I get to experience it and for that, I'm grateful.

Sometimes it is just good to count your blessings. I sure have many.
