I love staying home with my girl. There is no other place I would rather be.
The gift of staying home hasn't come easy. Things have been given up, people have cried, lives are changed ....all so that I can stay home with my sweet girl. Everyday I think about what it has cost for this gift, this wonderful opportunity to stay home with my girl. Some days it gets me a bit at what has been given up, at how many people it took to make this gift, this time with Belle happen. Today is one of those days. My heart is hurting so badly from the thankfulness inside of it. For everything that has been sacrificed I am thankful. I wish there was a better word than thankful, maybe grateful? No, grateful is still not strong enough for what my heart feels these days.
I love to hear her giggles, to rock her to sleep, to see her do little things that she couldn't do the week before, and to see her sweet smiles all day long everyday.
Thankful and so very grateful is what I am for this life changing opportunity. My heart is so full of gratitude it is bursting. So thankful for all that so many have sacrificed for. It breaks my heart to see it, to remember it; yet it brings a smile to my face and sweet memories to mind when I think of the reason I am sitting here at home with my Belle. I will be forever eternally grateful for that which God has given me through the hard work, sweat, and tears of so many. Eternally grateful...Those two words describe perfectly what my heart feels today, and everyday.
God is good all the time.

I am still wondering how you are able to stay home. I am very excited that you do get to, though. I know how much you have wanted it!
