A "Normal" Saturday!

Today was a great, normal, Saturday! For the first time in over a month, I didn't feel like I was pretending to really, truly, be ok. I'll never be the same but that's fine with me if the new me gets to have many more days like today. We played outside in the sun with bubbles, Frisbees, and ran through the fields. It felt great to get outside and breathe in the fresh air in preparation for (a rainy) Easter Sunday.

I actually felt like a "normal" person today and that was excellent. My mom and dad (& the dog) came down for the weekend and we had our "big" dinner tonight. There were a few times that I bumped into the stove and sink while making dinner and I thought about how my tummy would have been sticking out and in the way even more if I was still pregnant with Eli. It did feel, once or twice, that the calender next to the stove was taunting me. I could still slightly see the erased weeks that had been written down before but I kept it together and kept everything in perspective. I know God has a great plan for our family and I'm excited to so how it unfolds!
