Blessed to Have Mac (A Grateful Heart)

 
 

I am proud to announce the birth of Mac on November 13th at 3:56 PM.  He weighed 8 lbs 4 ozs and was 21 inches long.  We are so very grateful for Mac's safe arrival and so very blessed to have him in our arms and our family. 

Today, as I thanked God yet again for Mac and reflected upon his birth of two weeks ago, tears filled my eyes as I remembered how we were unsure as to whether he would make it or not, as an anomaly was discovered with his placenta during his first ultra sound during the first trimester.  When the doctor discussed it with us, I remember the fears that ran through me as I looked at his first pictures and had seen the beats of his tiny little heart; and not knowing what was ahead of us and for him as I already loved him so deeply.  All I knew was that many, many prayers went out on his behalf; and in the end, God would be along side us as well as a long side my baby in whatever the outcome.  

Here we are about nine months later, and I have to admit, I am so very grateful that Mac is safely here and healthy.  Completely blessed to have Mac here.  In fact, I am constantly thanking God for Mac as well as for all my children.  I do not take for granted my four little blessings...  What a time to remember a thankful spirit than to have a baby around Thanksgiving.  It has really given me a deeper perspective.  I have a grateful heart.  I have four precious blessings and miracles... Giving God praise and glory!
