Sweet Little Blessing...

So I have not blogged in forever...literally, but with a brand new year and a fresh new outlook on life it just feels right to start again! :)

There is so much new going on in the Armogan household, as of recent, that is wonderful and exciting! Ravi and I have kicked our weight-loss goal into high gear. It's been roughly 2 or 3 months of reducing portions, more fruits & veggie, no sugary drinks and getting my booty moving and I couldn't be happier :) My awesome hubby has lost way more than I have, by far, but he is my complete inspiration, motivation and the one that holds me accountable when I'm sorely tempted by sweet cravings late in the night...oh those terrible cravings :( LOL!

And on an even happier note, Ravi and I are looking forward to expanding our family this year. When? Well, sooner than later is what we're hoping for! Chandani is the most ready child I have ever seen for a little sibling :) She talks about a "baby seester" (sister) non-stop. She puts away her toys and clothes in little bags and says "This is for my seester, Momma!" and smiles from ear to ear whenever she talks about her. She is going to be quite disappointed if it's a boy with all this sister talk (LOL) but I know she will love whatever sibling comes her way, she is such a sweetie when it comes to babies, even when they're not ours! :)

It's amazing how well the Lord knows us personally and what we need in every situation! Today was such a special moment I will always cherish :) Chandani started, once again, talking about her baby sister and how much she loved her and I said "You'll have a baby soon enough sweetie". And Chandani, in her sweet little way, looked up at me and said "Mommy we pray her, you pray her, ok?" So we said a sweet little prayer together, in her rocking chair, that our little baby would come soon and join our family. And when it was done she wrapped her arms around my neck and said "Mommy, you rock me?" And for the first time in a LONG time my little girl let me rock her to sleep. How precious it was to look at her face and remember how she looked in that same position as a new born, a toddler and now a big girl, all grown up.

How did the Lord know my arms were aching to hold her like I once did? How did he know I needed my arms filled with that precious little spirit at that exact moment as we prayed together for more love to be added to an already overflowing family. He knew because he is my Father! And that is enough for me...
