i am thankful for...

Well this is the season to take a good hard look at what we are thankful for. I believe this season I am thankful more than ever for Dr. Schnell. I am thankful that God gave her the intelligence to help people like us have a baby that otherwise would not have been able to. I am thankful that she did not give up on us after the first failed cycle. I am thankful for this precious little person that has come in and taken over our lives. I am thankful for her smiles, cries, fits, dirty diapers, spit up, laughs, kisses, screams and silly personality. I am thankful because she is here, with us, on this earth and she is ours. I am thankful that God has given me the most wonderful job that I could ever imagine, Bella's mommy. I am thankful that He trusted me with her. I am thankful that it was His will for me to be a mother. I am thankful for a husband that is such an AWESOME hands-on daddy. I am thankful for a husband that shows me an abundance of unconditional love. I am thankful to be able to watch him love our daughter in a way that every child should be loved by their daddy. I am thankful for my parents who take care of Bella while we are at work. I am thankful that Mom gives her time and love for us to have peace of mind that she is save and loved on everyday. I am thankful that Bella is surrounded by love every single day. I am thankful for all of our friends and family that have loved us through this whole process and now love B. I am thankful for my life.
