The last week of 2012 weighed heavily on my heart.
I felt the rope breaking per say, and I was exhausted.
I simply was at a loss of not knowing what to do.
But as Christmas quietly exited and New Years approached I had one thing on my mind.. a quiet little gift 45 minutes away.. a tiny baby girl, I was simply dying to meet.
Little Miss Mia.
Courtney & I met through our blogs.
To the rest of the world it sounds crazy, and sometimes even to me.. it's still crazy.
As I walked into her house last Saturday, and a tiny.. tiny.. tiny.. baby filled my ever empty arms.. I laughed and said, "can you believe we met through our blogs? and now there is a baby? a baby?" And I couldn't help but think.. Courtney will be one of the first people to hold my babies baby..
And it's comical. That a friendship rooted in a little blogspot.com is really so much more then that.
It's crazy.
I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
It's one thing to meet your best friend here. And a half dozen other hearts that I've met in real life and connected to so deeply.. but a baby? a tiny baby? And some of you will hold my babies, and get the calls, like I did this weekend when one of my most cherished friends told me she was engaged..
I simply can't get used to it..
Or that wonderful feeling, when all feels lost.. and a baby sets your heart to even pace again, and I trust that God will answer my prayers.
Like He did that night, with a friend and her kind and reassuring words.
And little Miss.
Oh, little Miss Mia.
All because of a little blogspot.
I'm in blogland love tonight as I write this, hardcore love.

Little Mia is so precious.
I don't know what I would do without blogland or my blogland friends.
I second Michelle's comment.
And I will definitely hold your baby. Just one? And you will hold all five of mine.
Okay, five might be a joke, but three isn't.
But, you know, I'm waiting until marriage. Wink wink, marriage, nudge, nudge.
YOU.
I don't know what I'd do without your mix of sweetness and rudeness. Mostly rudeness. Love ya, toots. And by toots I mean dirty filthy whore.
the friends I've met through blogland and overwhelms me.
but even more than that it overwhelms me to think of how close I came to not meeting them.
You are such a great writer. I just can't get enough!!
I've made some great friends though blogging as well. It's a blessing .
What a precious baby girl <3
Mia is so precious. I love how babies have such a magical way of making everything seem ok.
Blogging is awesome and Mia? Well she's absolutely adorable! Congrats Courtney!
GIVE ME THAT BABY
Actually, newborns terrify me and I am really scared to hold them until they are at least six months old and much less fragile. My husband will be a busy man.
I agree with Kelsey! But look at those tiny little feeties! My ovaries are like, whoa beetch, calm it, you know what they turn in to.
Um. I read this at 6 or something this morning... can't remember exactly what time. And I CRIED!! Oh little miss Mia and those hormones she caused to be coursing through my veins :)
We love you, Shay!
i thank blogland for you all the days of the week. even monday.
She is so beautiful!!!! I understand why you fell in love. I love you more....
Oh friend. I am so glad you have your blogland friends.
This post was so precious and made me a little misty eyed. Seriously though, you can make the best of friends in the weirdest ways.
Love the photos!!
This is so sweet, blogging has certainly changed my life in many ways too!
This is the sweetest- little Mia is so adorable! I love how close you and Courtney are, thats awesome!
You look so good with a baby in your arms. So at peace, so full of joy.
If only they didn't turn into complete and utter shits the day they turn 7 years old, babies would be a panacea for all of the world's troubles.
I better be getting to hold those babies of yours!
How wonderful that we all found you .thats the truth.
