miracle of life

Just one week into having another newborn and I am still on my "high." With the trio, we never seemed to have enough time to actually reflect on the awesome-ness of life. It amazes me how the Good Lord has created this child... first out of cells...transforming her into a tiny, perfect, human being - complete with toe nails and eye lashes, and little hairs on her ears....and creases in her forehead and the ability to "know" what she needs at any moment. And how a mother's body can protect and care and grow this miracle... before birth, during, and after. Again and again... as I think about this, I just can't get over how miraculous life is and how much we have to be grateful for. I am more than truly blessed.
