"Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were an hour old, I would give my life for you. This is the miracle of life." ~ Maureen Hawkins

AMAZED
I am AMAZED...I will be 28 weeks pregnant tomorrow and it still feels surreal. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me and after all I've been through I am so happy to be where I am today. I LOVE feeling May and Brennan move! I am so lucky that they are very active...so I get to feel that a lot. I am amazed by how my belly grows, but at the same time it feels so normal. It isn't weird...it's wonderful. I am amazed when I see my TWO babies on the ultrasound screen. I know how big a baby is at 28 weeks. In fact, I have cared for babies that were born a month earlier than my babies are now. To know that there are two babies that are part of Scott and part of me, alive inside me right now....I can't even put into words how awesome that is. I know I will be even more amazed and in love when they get here. And, that time truly is getting close! I have a maximum of 10 more weeks of pregnancy, but likely less than that. In less than 70 days, I will be a mommy. WOW! It's hard to imagine exactly how life will be with May and Brennan here, but I know one thing...I am going to love it. I know it will be hard and I'm sure I can't even imagine the depth of that, but I will still love it. I know I will because I am already so in love with them, and that love grows every minute. It brings tears to my eyes when I think of holding them in my arms, or seeing Scott hold them. All the dreams I have for us as a family are so near now. I am so thankful. I wish there was a stronger word than thankful because I don't think that fully expresses how I feel. God has blessed us more abundantly than we could ever have imagined. With Mother's day just passed, I'm sure all the mommies reading this will join me in thanking God for the amazing blessing of pregnancy and children. It truly is a blessing that none of us deserve, yet it fulfills us in so many ways. I am excited to experience the fullness of that blessing when May and Brennan arrive in a couple of months.

ReplyDeleteLeah,
ReplyDeleteReading this brings tears to my eyes. I remember feeling this way, and enjoying every minute of motherhood, even the hard parts. I can't wait to see you with them:)
It also brings tears to my eyes. As parents we want our children to have their hearts desires. Only God can give us that and he truly has given that to you and Scott. Can't wait to meet those two wiggleworms! I love them because they are a part of my son and his wonderful wife!
ReplyDeleteIt is truly amazing. And the amount of love you feel for them now will seem like nothing when they're actually here. I always loved Jack, but I never had any idea just how much more I could love him. I cannot wait to meet those little babies!!!
