It amazes me to think how fast these past 6 months have gone..and amazes me even more to think how fast the next 17 1/2 years will go. My little Hannah has brought me so much joy and has brought out a side of me that had been cooped up for so long. I absolutely LOVE being a mother and I can only hope and pray that I will be half the mother to my kids as my mother has been to me. What an inspiration she has been! Here are a few photos...reminding me of where motherhood started for me and what it is today. Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers and those without children who have been motherly to so many in so many ways! God bless you!
It's amazing how fast you forget the pain and agony of labor and delivery when you see that precious miracle before your eyes. It's worth every bout of nausea, every vomit, everything that had to be changed (ie, diet & activity, etc.) or eliminated (ie, caffeine), every piece of clothing that became too tight, every phase of feeling or looking a bit awkward, every ache & pain, every contraction, and the many hours of waiting, hoping, praying, struggling, and hurting.. even the sleepless nights. I have forgotten about it all... When I see a miracle smiling back at me or hear that little miracle laugh, I have a glimpse of what God must see/hear when He sees/hears us doing that which pleases Him. What an amazing thing it is to be a mother!
