The reason I'm a mother



Ah, I love this girl. She's so goofy and fun and silly and smart. This morning she is tearing around the house in her pink tu-tu and tights pretending to be a ballerina. All this just for fun! What a life to be 2 years old and be able to run around like that! I'm so thankful that SHE is the one who calls me Mommy. I think about it over and over again. God chose her for us, and us for her! Incredible!



So today while I'm milling around here cleaning and living life - I may sneak in a few more peeks at her while she's playing quietly. I may grab my camera and try to capture just a few more pics of her twirling in her tutu in the livingroom. I may steal one or two more extra kisses on her still chubby cheeks. Just because I can. I'm her momma.





And life is going to be very different here very soon as we anticipate Baby Sister. Hubs took this picture lastnight after youth group - and, though I am feeling very unattractive, I still do LOVE pregnancy belly and feeling this new life squirm and wiggle. I love these girls - and am so thankful for them - the REASON I am a mother. :)


Btw, after my 38 week appt yesterday - I was told I'm 2-3cms and 75% effaced. Yay!
