A note on blogging: I get that it's cheesy, possibly narcissistic, and even TMI at times. But, for this opinionated wanna-be writer/socialite/political pundit/decorator who spends the majority of her time either in front of a computer or in the company of a baby with a 10 word vocabulary, it's an outlet. Don't judge...

So very much to be thankful for...

It has struck me lately how amazingly lucky we are! And, although I was a bit too pregnant and grumpy on actual Thanksgiving to see it all, I really do have so very much to be thankful for!

I can say it aloud now that our perfect bundle is home safe and sound with us, but I think I was holding my breath waiting for something bad to happen my entire pregnancy. I was secretly terrified each step of the way and really felt like everything was just too easy, and maybe too good to be true. First, getting pregnant with Violet was so easy (too easy?!) and I just couldn't believe that we could be that lucky. I didn't publicize much of it, but it did take me a while to get pregnant with Annalise, and there were times that I really didn't think I'd be able to have kids. Now, as I sit here with a sleeping baby in her swing and a napping toddler in her crib, I feel like someone really needs to pinch me! WE ARE SO LUCKY! 2 perfectly healthy (albeit grumpy) pregnancies and 2 perfectly healthy and happy babies in just over 2 years! Given the struggles that so many have creating their families, we are seriously blessed. Things may be crazy, and our life has definitely been flipped upside down, but I couldn't be happier about all of it. #familycomplete!

Welcome little Miss Violet James!
