motherhood

Now that the hustle and bustle is over. We have a beautiful baby girl, and we couldn't be happier.

Many say, "I don't want to be like my mother or father when I grow up." There are little quirks and mannerisms that maybe push us off to not want to be like them in that way. I can honestly say I never said that, or at least I don't remember saying that... My mom is my best friend and yes sometimes we drive each other nuts, but needless to say I don't know where I would be without her. I never realized quite how much I was like my mother though, until Emmalynn came along. I can see the way I talk to Emmalynn, the way I love her and even the way I interact with others makes me a spinning image of my mother.

It's amazing how this plays out in our lives. Growing up I thought that I would be totally different, never show this much similarity to my mother. But lo and behold here I am a mother myself, and following in a great example of motherhoods footsteps.

Motherhood has been such a gift and blessing, I only pray that I can live out the love and beauty that my mother so constantly showed me. She was a true example of Mary's love and I pray that I can love Emmalynn the way my mother showed me how to love.


Here's to motherhood.
