My friend, Stephanie, just started a new blog kind of documenting day to day life for her and her family and I thought I would make the transition from just blogging about Lauren exclusively to blogging about some things that are going on in our life as a family. As many, if not all, of you know, we are expecting another baby around the end of October/beginning of November. Stephanie has encouraged me through her blog to keep track of how Lauren is growing and what she is learning as well as how our new addition is growing and preparing to come into the world. In thinking of what I wanted the title of my blog to be, I was reflecting upon how I feel lately with the tremendous blessing of this new baby that we honestly didn't know we would ever be able to experience, as well as the amazement and wonder I have every day in watching Lauren become the phenomenal person she is. One thing kept ringing through my mind and that was a song that I used to listen to a lot when I was in junior high/high school. So for this first post, I'm going to leave you all with these lyrics that pretty much capture how I feel at this moment.
These Are the Days
by 10,000 maniacs
These are the days you'll remember.
Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be warm as this.
And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.
These are the days you'll remember.
When May is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in every hour.
You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.
These are days.
These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break.
These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face.
And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be.
See the signs and know their meaning.
It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be.
Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you.

Yay! I'm so glad someone is trying it too. I really do think it will be a good way to remember things. I've tried journaling, but it just seems easier to do it here, and I can add photos. Keep it up! Hope you've been feeling better!
Yay!!
The song has significance to me too, I'm glad you used it. :)
Will be watching. :)
