Continued steps

The past few weeks have continued to be very challenging... in some ways even more challenging. However, grace continues to carry me along and I continue to take baby steps forward. I sat with my dear friend Jenni tonight and recounted some of those steps...

*I held a baby. A few weeks ago, I met Piper Lowe for the first time. I had been wanting to meet her for a few weeks before I actually got to...the timing was perfect. She was the first baby that I have held since Alivia. I felt like I could have held her forever. I cuddled her and enjoyed every moment. It was very bittersweet....but I like to emphasize the "sweet!" I have fallen in love with this little one and I hope Helen does not get sick of me asking, every time I see her, "can I hold her???"

*I have gotten on "somewhat" of a schedule in cleaning my house (still with the help of others), but I'm doing it nonetheless.

*I have started to do some errands by myself.

*Dave started back to work full-time and it has been going well. I'm able to be at home with the girls all day now.

*Tonight I cooked dinner from scratch all by myself and the Smiths joined us. I know, sounds so mundane and probably for many one of the simplest tasks. But for me this was monumental...huge baby step!
