16. A husband who comes home after a long day at work, takes the baby and shoos me away to "take a break."
17. The chance to play with my horse last night for the first time in a very long time. He was wonderful!
18. Difficult situations that bring us closer together.
19. A happy baby who is so expressive and communicates very well.
20. Good conversations with my very perceptive husband. I am so blessed by him!
21. Unity of passion and purpose.
22. More sleep the past two nights - amazing what a difference it makes!
23. 35 minutes outside in my gardens this evening, cleaning up the dead plants and getting the beds ready for winter.
24. Apple pie and homemade bread, fresh from the oven, and a husband who appreciates them.
25. Warm soup from the freezer, gift from Mommy before she left.
26. Watching Clara sleeping on Luke's chest, a picture of peace and contentment.
27. Middle-of-the-night feedings. Seriously. I'll miss them when she eventually starts sleeping through the night. So sweet, quiet and peaceful. Special moments with my baby girl.
28. The way Clara smiles as she falls asleep, particularly while nursing. Precious!
29. Listening to Clara laugh in her sleep in bed with me after Luke has left for work in the morning.
30. The absolute joy of motherhood - getting to spend priceless moments with my baby girl, watching her stretch and grow, seeing her expressions, learning her habits and ways of communicating what she needs, going about our days joyfully together. Every second is a gift that I wouldn't trade for the whole world.
