Thankful

Last night at work I helped with a baby who had died. The baby was born prematurely and it broke my heart to see the little one as he passed away. I have been involved in caring for babies who have passed away several times before and while it is always the most unpleasant aspect of my job I don't think it has ever struck me in quite the same way as it did last night. I couldn't help but think about my beautiful boy at home and the healthy little baby I carry inside me right now. My little Lucas is only two weeks younger than this baby who passed away. I am so thankful for the health of my family and to God for all of His blessings!

Sometimes it takes a hard night at work to realize how lucky and blessed we are, take care of that little one growing inside you.
I love the name Lucas!
