Caleb at 20 months

Lydia, August 2010
Caleb is quickly approaching the age Lydia was when he was born, and I'm gaining some perspective on what the last 20 months have been like.  Caleb is starting to talk and have his own opinions.  He is fascinated by the world around him and still needs lots of attention and cuddles from mom.  To think that I was about to have this toddler and a newborn.  I am beginning to feel more justified in my stress level for the last year and 1/2.  I am enjoying my 2 wonderful kids and watching them grow up side by side.  I'm not in a hurry to expand our family right now and dream of what it would be to have a baby when Caleb is as independent as Lydia (only 1 in diapers!).

Its been a wild ride the last 2 years and Caleb has been a huge blessing and gift from God in his easy going personality and good nature.  I am thankful to be walking out of the fog of depression and enjoy my kids as they grow up.

just last night I was marveling to my husband just how wonderful it is to feel "normal". looking back to where I was mentally and emotionally a year ago...our lives today are miraculously amazing!
lovin' the little things, and encouraged to hear your stories of struggle and success.
