Giddyness

I rarely describe myself as giddy. The word carries along with it a slew of connotations - all of them negative. And yet, today, I might just fall into that category.

My doctor report this morning was excellent! I have beaten this nasty kidney infection and that means no hospitalization!!!! Thrilled. Absolutely thrilled. Our baby is still doing very well which is a double blessing!

I had these fears that I would be totally incapacitated and unable to do some of the many things I want to get accomplished. I will be taking it slower as I have learned even my incredible superhuman body has its limits (stop laughing). But for someone who was confined to a couch for 4 solid days, freedom to go to work and to go on a final baby shopping trip with hubby seem like luxuries far out of reach.

I smile a lot. I sit at my desk and I smile. I sit here and feel no back pain and then I feel a baby move and I smile. I think about spending the entire day with hubby tomorrow (he's as thrilled as I am - rest assured) and about all our preparations for our baby and I smile.

Its one thing to know that God is good and believe that he is watching out for you and taking care of you. Its another thing entirely to be smacked in the face with blessings beyond what you could have asked for. Unearned, undeserved, uncomplicated blessings.

See, that's giddy.
