Mommy

I am amazed at the gift I have been given. I am the mommy of a beautiful baby girl. So many times during my pregnancy thoughts flooded my mind about this child, my unknown child. I often wondered how it would look and if it would be perfectly healthy. All I can say is wow, she has been beautifully created by our Father God and now has been entrusted to me. I am starting to learn her sounds and her cries and what she does if she is hungry or needs a diaper change. Mark says that as he looks at her he is reminded even more of the dependence that we have to have on God, because she is so dependent on us. A life lesson here in true form. I didn't picture myself a mother of a daughter as many of you know, but now as she is here I am so excited for the girlie things we will do together. A couple of my ya ya friends came to visit with their daughters and I felt so proud, I had a daughter to hold now too. As I sit feeding her in the den with my own mother in my kitchen taking care of us, I think one day I will be the mother in the kitchen and my own daughter, Lord willing, will be taking care of hers! Crazy! Pink doesn't bother me so much and when I don't dress her in it that feels weird. I love when I hold her and she calms down because I am the mommy and that is who she wanted. I am so thankful for this gift, I pray I honor God with it in every way.
