Hi everyone! Long time, no "see!"

Thank all of you who expressed concern or shared well wishes...

Our Baby Girl was born as planned via scheduled c-section on January 30, weighing 7 lbs, 13 oz... She is precious and beautiful and absolutely perfect. Perhaps I'm biased? :)

Everyone is adjusting well to having Baby Sister in our lives... Daddy is in love and gladly changes poopy diapers... Big brother is equally as in love, and we call him "the baby whisperer" because he has a way of distracting and calming baby when she is fussing... I am loving being at home with her and having time to devote to my family's needs... So basically, all is well, very well!

Having this baby girl is just the most wonderful blessing... I am enjoying her more than words can describe. She is incredibly easy going, and just a joy. We are so very blessed to have her. I am still in awe that I get to have this baby, that she is actually mine, and so incredibly grateful for this wonderful life I get to be living. We are truly blessed.

So to be in compliance, what blessings are you thankful for today?

What can I do next?

I'm grateful for my wife and kids and grandkids. Our youngest two children called us this week on Wednesday to tell us their wives were pregnant. This will be their first children and our 24th and 25th grandchildren. I'm so happy for them. My wife is delighted.

Good luck to you and yours.

Congratulations! I'm sure she is absolutely as precious as you say she is!

I feel blessed to have my two healthy and happy little boys. They are so cute and so sweet (most of the time). My oldest has really gotten into helping his 3 year old brother put on his shoes and button his jacket, and this morning when I went into the oldest's room to get them up for school, he had a bunch of coins out of his piggy bank arranged in a row, and he was teaching his little brother about the different denominations of them. SO sweet!

I also feel very blessed to have a good job that I really enjoy!

AAAWWWW Congrats :-))

I have a plaque by the pictures of my grandkids it reads:

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,
For babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow,
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

Enjoy each and every snuggle. Sending hugs.

I am spending the day with my grandson, it's his 4th b-day and his daycare is on spring break. We are having a great time.

Congratulations.. Take lots of photos of this baby, you know how the more children you have the less photos you tend to take of each child individually! I have a friend that grew up with 3 sisters.. The last 2 sisters notice now that there are really no photos of just them in the photos, they were always gathered together for group shots!

I have a great blessing today. Just found out this last semester of college for our daughter.. is not costing us a dime!

She has been receiving a wonderful scholarship from her college and grants.. She also was given a College fund (Texas Tomorrow fund) from her grandmother.. that has paid out huge.. so our amount has been a tiny fraction of the actual cost. each semester.

This statement for this semester.. we actually have a credit!!!

Woo hoo! Of course attending her graduation and packing and shipping her stuff back home, will make up for this.. But we are thrilled!

Good morning! I'm so glad everything is well and big brother loves his baby sister. Little girls are pretty cool (I don't have a comparison). It was so great to see your wedding followed by your daughter.

I had an awful migraine this weekend and am so thankful that my daughter was there to help out with our home while I was feeling awful. I love that kid (young lady)! I'm also thankful for a great work week and how fortunate I was to uncover new clients that can = $$$ in the next quarter.

Welcome back! So glad to hear from you and that you are all doing well.

Today I'm thankful for waking up to my two favorite guys after the two of them worked all day yesterday on the baby's room. I have a terrible cold, so I haven't been much help. On my way out to work this morning, the hubs said he would make dinner tonight and entertain the boy so I can go to bed early. Very thankful for them both AND the fact that we only have 5 weeks left!

Congrats! I was wondering about you!!

I am so thankful that a friend of mine survived the surgery she had on Saturday for a brain aneurysm. She had been having terrible headaches so her sister urged her to go to the doctor. The doc sent her for a CT scan and they discovered the aneurysm that was about to rupture and did emergency surgery that afternoon. She's a young woman with three children. Listen to your bodies, ladies! If something doesn't seem right, get it checked out!!!

hooray for you & your family! Wonderful news & thank you for sharing!

My thanks today are: everybody got up & left the house as scheduled. All of my daycare kids came in with minimal angst & are playing well. & I'm taking a break, because the kids told me to "go away". They are playing hide & seek. Love that they are soooo comfortable with me!

Congratulations on your new arrival! And kudos to your son for being such a wonderful big brother. Bet all moms wish they had a "baby whisperer."

I am just grateful every day for the life I get to lead. I love my job (just started last September), I love my hubby, I love our home and the life we have created and I love, love, love getting to raise my granddaughter.

Yes, truly a lot to be thankful for!
