5 months old

I can't believe that my baby is already 5 months old. He is the most precious gift I have ever been given. I am eating my words now for all the times I said I didn't want to be a mom. I can't imagine missing out on this experience. I hope it is not too early to start celebrating but this last week Dane has been getting up only one time during the night instead of the 4 to 5 times. I am so very thankful for this and I am sure Jacob is too since I am a much happier wife. Also this week he is recovering from the RSV and Bronchialitis. He is feeling much more like himself. I tell you what it is so hard to sit around and be so helpless when your baby is so sick. Until you are a parent yourself you do not understand how much love you have for your children. During this time when he was so sick we would just pray for his health. We know that no matter what that God is in control and no matter how much we worry we can not heal him. This has really been an eye opening experience for Jacob and I. The more we thought about what we would do if God decided to take him from us the more we realized what it really meant that God sent his only son as a sacrifice for us. It really gives you a great appreciation and a deeper understanding of how much God truly loves us and what he did for us. I know this is one of the many lessons I will learn.
