my holiday babe

We are busy busy here in CA with our family of 3. 

Every day Daron and I mention how we can't believe we actually 

made the 9 hour drive down here. 

Luckily this little man slept like a champ.

(as I think many newborns do)

It's been really wonderful to be surrounded by family.

chaotic at times...

but wonderful.

These days I am easily overwhelmed.

People keep telling me that will get better.

I am trusting them.

I can't count the times I said before I got pregnant that I 

"never want a holiday baby."

I must have said it a 1,000 times. 

Then, SURPRISE! you're pregnant.

and your due date is 

THANKSGIVING DAY.

I kept thinking...

"really!?"

Now our little munchkin' is here.

and i honestly can't think of a better time

for him to come.

i think about how i felt about having a "holiday baby"

and i think it is so silly.

this time of year is perfect.

my heart is so full.

i feel overwhelmed with gratitude 

and 

i get to celebrate being thankful with all those around me.

i think it's safe to say i have changed my mind.

holiday babies are the best.
