1. I had a long bath this afternoon while the rest of my house napped. It was awesome.
2. I was cruising Facebook while in that bath and came across a picture someone had shared about a woman who had given birth to her baby this morning (I don't know this woman) FOUR MONTHS premature. I started to cry looking at that tiny baby with all the wires in the incubator. I immediately felt a rush of gratefulness at my two boys - both born full-term and healthy; both who left the hospital with us. I don't really pray, but I plead with the universe to give that little baby, and his or her mother, father, and family strength during what I can only imagine must be a terrible, terrible time. Hug your babies tight tonight.
3. My parents came over tonight and watched the kids while Jeff and I went out for supper. We were gone for less than two hours, but it was just him and me without the responsibility of parenthood looming over us. It was wonderful. And I love him.
