I have decided that starting with today's post, I will do a daily gratitude entry for the entire month of December. I made this decision because this time of the year seems magical and is filled with family, friends, music, love, and laughter. The other reason I decided to do this is because I turn 40 this month and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than by listing all the blessings in my life, of which I have so many. Here we go!
Today I am grateful for my son who is truly my greatest blessing. My son is sensitive, caring, loving, empathetic, intelligent, funny, conscientious, happy, outgoing, and so much more. My son was born 9 weeks early and only weighed 3 pounds, 11 ounces. He was born in Pittsburgh because he was born so early and had to stay in the hospital for one month before he was finally released to come home. I underwent a C-section delivery and when he was born, he did not cry because he was not breathing. I had 2 other pregnancies before him: the first one was a miscarriage and the second was a stillborn son, born at 29 weeks. Many children who are born that early are discharged with various medical equipment due to their health issues. My son was extremely fortunate to leave the hospital without any medical concerns. My son is truly a miracle in every sense of the word and he is without question my #1 priority. I love him more than I thought I could ever love anyone! 💓
