Best Two Weeks, Ever.
I almost feel like I should explain myself after my last post. But I don't think I will.
I had a c-section, and it was my choice, not just lack of info, and it's over and I've been healing famously. And I'd happily tell you all about it if you asked...the why's and what-for's. I just don't really feel like delving into it all again in blog-post-form at the moment. And I get to do just exactly what I want on this here bloggity blog...so there. Ha.
I don't really know how to explain why the past two weeks have been SO awesome. There's been all sorts of reasons for them not to be awesome. But I really think there's got to be something about the arrival of a brand new life...a spirit so fresh from the presence of our Father in Heaven...that could buoy up even the lowest of spirits in the hardest of times. Something about how Baby-Rae likes to shove her little finger into her little brother's tightly clenched fist, and just stand there "holding" his hand. Something about how she just can't restrain herself from giving him kisses whenever she sees him. Something about watching a daddy and his new baby snuggle up on the couch together for a snooze. Something about that baby smell...the smell of my baby...that I get to breathe in every time I cuddle him close.
And there's something about having the man I love, the daughter I adore, and the son I couldn't imagine living without....close enough to hold all at once....that makes my heart explode into a million pieces, like fireworks.
Definitely the best two weeks, ever.
