I have come to realize lately how blessed I really am. I have so many people who care about me, really realy care about me, and so many wonderful things going on in my life. It's overwhelming really to think how some people have nowhere to turn and no one to turn to and I have so many places to turn for support.
It never fails to amaze me how God reminds me of this when I start to feel sorry for myself. It seems like every time I start to feel down about something God puts someone in my path who has it 10 or 100 times worse, and I have to say "Ok, Ok I get it, thank you Lord!" For example, I have a hard time sometimes with my six week old baby girl. She's fussy, sometimes downright hysterical, and I get overwhelmed and feel like I'm doing everything wrong, but it passes. I was talking to a friend of mine and she knows someone who's eight months pregnant and recently stopped feeling movement, she went for an emergency ultrasound and found that the baby had died. They don't know why and are obviously devastated. That made me ashamed to complain about my beautiful healthy baby who cries a lot. It made me stop and say
"THANK YOU LORD!!"

hey sweetie keep your chin up... it'll get better.... when she gets bigger she'll have moments that you'll want to wring her neck, but they are far overshadowed by the moments when she'll do something so sweet or so cute, you can't hold back the tears.... love ya lots shannon
Hang in there Michelle, all babies have their moments of being inconsolable. You are the best mom for Payton.
cherish every moment, savour everything you feel and experience. the time flies by much too quickly.
