I LOVE being a mommy!

"A mother holds her children's hands for a short while and their hearts forever."
I can't begin to explain how much I absolutely love being a mommy. It is the most rewarding experience....how you ask? When you are exhausted, haven't showered in two days, can't remember taking the time to brush your teeth that day, have a fussy baby all day that won't let you put them down, and you're up again at 2:30AM for a feeding, there is nothing more rewarding then making eye contact with your little one and them giving you a big grin. I think I would go to the ends of the earth and give up everything for that little smile. She is so precious...a true blessing. I hope that when life gets stressful and she grows older, that she always knows how much she is loved. Every night after we put her to bed, Ben and I just sit in front of her bouncy seat (yes...for now she loves sleeping in her bouncy seat) and just stare at her. We both put our hands on her and pray before we get in bed and our prayers always start out just thanking the Father for such a glorious gift. We can't seem to express our appreciation enough for choosing us to be her parents. I pray that the Lord give us wisdom and guidance to raise her to be the woman He has intended. Here are some pics of the little one.
