Thankful for every moment

Today I was thinking back on when Madelyn was as old as Greyson is now. I remember being so emotionally fragile. I was fragile because I was recovering from the depression that life was throwing at me after Madelyn's birth. I am realizing now that it probably wasn't just the post-partum hormones that were causing my funk, although I'm sure that they helped. I think it was just my mind trying to cope with a complete shift in life and responsibilities. But MAN! It hit me pretty hard. Thankfully, I had Ben and my mom to pick up the slack with Madelyn.... they literally only brought her to me when she needed to nurse. It was sad... I don't really even remember the first two weeks of her life. I'm glad that a lot of pictures were taken so that I can see what she looked like and how she changed in those weeks. Looking back on that makes me realize how fortunate I have been to not have issues after Greyson was born. What an amazing time! It has been amazing to see him change and grow. It has been amazing to see his sister take to him so well and genuinely want to help me take care of him. I am in awe.
