Thinking Back

As we get closer and closer to the debut of the babies, I have been thinking a lot of baby Mia. There are moments that I remember being in a zen-mom state, but for the most part I think it felt so crazy and alien that I didn't really get a chance to enjoy it. I am grateful that I'll have another chance to experience those newborn moments even though they will be frenetic in their own way. In all reality, we have Mia to thank for taking us on this new journey. The little girl that she has become has given us the strength to do it all again (with an added bonus of one more). Somehow, we made it through some major rough patches and are the better for it. It's still not easy all the time, but as she becomes more and more of a little girl, it's clear to see that somewhere along the way, we've done alright by her. Alright enough to at least believe that we don't wholly suck as parents. This morning I found a lot of old videos of Mia and I think I'll spend the next few posts uploading those so you all can see them. This first one was taken by Mark when Mia was just two days old. My.....how time flies.
