On Being A Mother


These two are the reason I get to celebrate Mother's Day. I can't even express how much I love them. I have done so many things in my life for nothing more than the sake and happiness of my children. I can't believe how much joy and fun kids bring to your life, and you can't comprehend it until you have your own. Adelaide has been my little angel for the past four and a half years. She is a feisty, spunky, independent little girl (wonder where she gets that from) who is full of personality and I can't get enough of her. She has become the best big sister and loves her little brother completely. That brings me to my little Reggie. I can't quit looking at him because I am still absolutely amazed that he has finally made it to our family. Even with the sleepless nights and non-stop feeding, I feel like it's all been a dream, like I'm not quite in touch with reality. I am so thankful for the opportunity to raise a second child, I am lucky indeed.

There is nothing in the world as hard and also as rewarding as being a mother, I wouldn't take it back for a second. I am so thankful for my two beautiful kids. I love being a mother and I know how blessed I am to have given birth to both of them. As I have said before, I don't take it for granted, not one bit. They are amazing and I look forward to watching them grow and learn every day.

I love you Adelaide and Reggie, more than you can ever know.
