Little Things

Lately I have been especially stressed out. I've got a lot going on from the impending move to my parents house to the inability to find a full time job to even the idea of weaning Elizabeth from the breast. I feel that a major breakdown is imminent. As each day progresses and I get closer to deadlines, I can feel my breath shorten and my heart rate quicken. Not good.

But, this is not the point of today's post. I'm not in the mood to complain about the injustices in my life. I just feel really lucky despite all my obstacles. Things could be much, much worse. And I have the best, most beautiful of beautiful babies. She is amazing. So amazing, in fact, that she now says "Mama". Okay, so she really says, "mamamamama..." and it has no correlation to me yet. But, she still says it. She doesn't say, "dadadada...". She says, "mamamamama..."! I love her!
