another kind of love.

This was me a few days ago. I still look like this, but maybe my belly is a bit bigger now and I washed my hair. Baby n. is soon to make her big debut, and I am so excited. Both Nathan and I cannot believe how fast this has all happened. We are so blessed to be living the lives we do. Every moment feels like a special gift from God. Even when I am doing the dishes, I am drenched in a peace and joy that I cannot explain. Maybe it is just hormones, but I am so thankful for this special life that God has gifted me with. Bebe is such a gift. I've been thinking a lot about my mother. I grew up with a wonderful mama. She taught me so many fabulous things, and even now at 23 years old I am still using these special nugets of truth. I hope I can be a mother that makes her daughters & sons feel cherished like she does. The love that a parent has for their child is so divine. I am looking forward to knowing this kind of love.

Wonderful.gift.of.life.
