Time out for a little gushing this morning...

I just need to take a minute to revel in the awesomeness that is my life. I absolutely must be the luckiest woman in the world. There is nothing more special than taking a shower and then crawling back in bed with my little boy to nurse and cuddle early in the morning. This morning he fell back asleep as usual, but so did I. Even though we were late getting around, after I was dressed and went back in to wake him up and change him, I had to take some extra time to hug and cuddle his happy little self.

If I were a believer in Karma I think I would believe I'd suffered something horrendous in a former life in order to be so throughly blessed in this one. As it is, I can't begin to feel like I deserve such happiness.

Ethan makes it so easy to feel like I have mastered this thing called motherhood. (Yes, in 11 short weeks.) It's rare for him to cry a cry that doesn't respond to one of a few motherly wiles. In fact, many times, my mere presence is all that's needed. Nothing boosts my confidence more than seeing my son, fussing (maybe in his swing or someone elses arms) and watching the transformation that takes place as I approach and reach out for him. I must radiate some type of calming potion.

Now, I know that days, weeks or months down the road I'll reach a point where I temporarily forget these warm and fuzzy feelings. That's why I'm writing them down. I will depend on you, my friends, to point me back here to relive this moment :)

What's happy in your lives today?
