I'm the luckiest woman alive!
I was laying here in my bed frustrated that Dawson refused to sleep longer than an hour in his crib when it hit me...what right do I have to be aggrivated by this? How many women would give their life to be able to have their baby next to them whether it's bed time or not. How many women are without their child for one reason or another?! In ten months I haven't faced losing my child or the pains of the PICU. I don't know what its like to pray that my child makes it through the night every night but really doubt that he will. I don't know what its like to watch my son struggle to do something as simple as breathe...I am truly the most blessed woman on the planet and sometimes I have to remind myself of that. How many women will never know what its like to pull their baby off the baby gate,again and again and just one more time. Or pick up the toys off the floor or wash the bottles and sippy cups for the million and one time. I'm the lucky one.how man women would give up everything they had and then some to hear their son sa "mama" over and over or give him a bath and pretend to be oirates. Why do I take this for granted. I have a miracle happening to me every single day and that miracle is my son. Every moment he breathes makes my the luckiest woman alive. Every time he smiles,laughs,or cries I'm blessed all over again. God gave me thias wonderful creature and I'm so blessed to have him.

Hey, this is unrelated, but there was an ad for some insurance company on my sidebar on Facebook and the chick looked just like you!
I took a screen shot of it. Here, I'll upload it to Photobucket . . .

Also, I say you get to feel frustrated at lack of sleep no matter how lucky you are.
Mandie, I love your perspective in this post. I miss you on the board. Take care.
Amen!!! I have to remind myself often how very lucky I am.
