Thoughts on Motherhood

When Nate and I got pregnant for the first time I had no idea the journey that motherhood would take me on. I had no idea how it would change my view of God, of the world, and of other moms, particularly my own mom. Being a mommy has made me more sensitive, more aware, more grateful, more thoughtful, more reliant upon God, more prayerful, more frustrated and more emotional. Some of my biggest highs and lows in life have come because I am a mommy.

There was a time in my life after losing my first two babies that I would have said that I would never feel like the most blessed or luckiest person alive. I just didn't think after experiencing such loss that I'd ever be truly thankful to be me. Well, I was wrong. After 5 short years, I'm not in that place anymore. I truly love my life, my family and being me. I feel that I am blessed beyond imaginable, and yes, I may just be the luckiest mommy around! My sorrow has turned to joy. My weeping has turned to laughter. I am blessed.
