I never thought I'de say this, but among the vast world of blessings that I feel so grateful for, today I feel especially grateful for messy diapers. Olivia has had the flu for the past few days, and has been a little dehydrated due to a lack of appetite. I never realized until now how grateful I am for her regular wet diapers that she has when she wakes up from every nap, because I know that she is healthy and not dehydrated.
It's pretty crazy when I find myself praying and hoping that when she wakes up from a nap she will have a soaking wet diaper.
I guess there are a lot of things in life that you could look at this way, things that seem so mundane and part of every day life, but when taken away, we realize how blessed we are to have them. Like doing laundry, in the moment of actaully doing it I always feel bored and sick of it, but I'm so grateful that I have clothes to clean. Or doing the dishes. This is my absolute least favorite thing to do, yet it has to be done three times a day everyday. But I'm so grateful that I have a kitchen of my own that I can cook in and clean.
So there you have it. I'm so grateful for messy diapers. Come one Liv, please have a wet diaper!

I noticed you didn't express gratitude for poopy diapers. (can I say poopy on blogger?) But I think you have a good point. Thanks for a great post, Jess :)
It's absolutely true. When Matthew went 11 days w/ out pooping, I realized this principle of motherhood. Yes, I worried about the lack of poopy diapers for my completely healthy son. Motherhood just messes w/ your mind. It's as simple as that!
