Things to be grateful for....

1) My family. I love them more than I could every adequately express. This is exactly what I always wanted.

2) My husband who is still my favorite after 5 years, and is a really, really good father. He has taken way more of his share of the work for the last couple months.

3) My little girl. She is really trying hard to share mommy, but you know this is really hard for her. She has been really good about the baby coming home.

4) My little boy, who is healthy and doesn't feel the need to cry ever....we'll see if that changes, hopefully not.

5) My m-o-l who basically has turned into a housekeeper, cook, nanny for us this week (Les you will have to give her a massage when she gets home)

6) My niece...who was apparently born on Saturday....unfortunately Japan has a terrible time difference, so I am yet to find out more details.

7) My good friends who really try to make sure I have everything I need.

8) Pain meds...

9) Very good medical care, compassionate doctors and nurses, which I really felt like far outweighed the last delivery.

10) My Heavenly Father, who more than anything has provided a lot of comfort in moments of uncertainty.
