I guess everyone wants a white Christmas. It has been a while since my last one so the Lord wanted to give me another. It started snowing Christmas Eve until the middle of Christmas Day. The end result,... We got snowed in! As romantic as this sounds, it kinda wasn't. Our van doesn't drive the best in the snow and ice and Caleb was supposed to be to work early the next day so we were a little stressed. Plus the fact that we only brought enough diapers for two days not three. Thank goodness for prepared Grandpas! We spent the 26th digging ourselves out. After a total of close to 8 hours of work we were finally free.
We started Christmas a little late this year. We didn't get up until 7:30! That is a record for us, as kids we were up at least 5 times before 4:30, when we could actually get up. What a bunch of party-poopers we've turned into.
Rebecka had fun staring at all of us opening presents. She most likely thought we were a bit crazy. She loves the blocks that Santa left her, her favorite thing though is the crinkle book that Grandma got for her.
Certain things have a way of being overlooked sometimes. I know that they are there, but I don't consciously think of them as often as I should. The main one is my family. I love them so much but take them for granted.
This week a friend of mine lost her baby. She was 21 weeks along and found out last week it was a little boy. It crushed me.
My little Rebecka is the light of my life. I can't image life without my Baby Girl. I think that now and then I should make an effort to remember how lucky I am to have her. I am so blessed.
I am a wife, a mother, sister, Aunt, daughter, and a friend. I spend my days playing with my baby and finding out all I can about birth. My passions in life are my husband, child, and just starting to make my voice heard on natural birth.
