Quiet

I am sitting here at 1 a.m.
Wondering why in the world I am still awake, knowing I am going to be sorry in a few hours when the rest of the house wants to wake up.
I finally worked on this blog tonight (Look, See..."oooohhh" "Ahhhhh") and have enjoyed feeling some creative juices flowing...finally.
My computer rests on my ever growing belly, jumping away.  Evidently a certain little lady doesn't want to share her space!  I cannot fault her for that.
A (rather lame) late night show flickers on the tv, but is quiet enough as to not drown out the light snoring of a certain precious little man in the next room.
I like having these times to myself, occasionally,  when my tired body can handle it.
Its not getting away from my family, its cherishing their peacefulness.
Its on these quiet nights that I am able to sit up and look around me at my little life...
and truly feel blessed.  I have a wonderful husband who loves my son and I beyond what we could ask for.  I have a son who's life I so cherish, who has blessed me to my very core, just by being.  There is a miracle living and thriving inside of me, happily at the moment.  She is such an answer to prayer and a constant reminder of Gods love and compassion in our lives. 
I am blessed.
Sometimes I forget.
Sometimes I let my life blind me from seeing how blessed I really am.
But not tonight.
Tonight, I am thankful.
Praise the Lord.
