thoughts on being a mom


my mom said that when kim, the oldest, was born, going to get her out of her crib was like "christmas morning." i used to think yeah right. waking up to a crying baby in the middle of the night? but i believe her now, because i feel the same way.

i can totally relate to this quote in answer to what God meant when he gave me infertility:

"I think God meant for me to build a thirst for a child so strong and so deep that when that baby is finally placed in my arms, it will be the longest, coolest, most refreshing drink I've ever known."

i don't know if it's normal to love every minute of being a mom as much as i do, but that's the reason i'm actually grateful i had to wait so long for benjamin.

this sight does my heart good.

growing up much too fast.
