Being a mom is at the same time everything and nothing like I expected. I knew there would be sleepless nights, but I didn't know that it would be easy to get up and feed my hungry daughter. I knew there would be diapers, but I didn't know there would be SO MANY. I knew she would cry and I would console her, I just didn't know it would be so often and would make my nipples so sore. I knew she would be beautiful, but I didn't know she would take my breath away when she smiled.
I am so grateful to God for entrusting us with this beautiful girl. Our family makes me so much happier than I ever though it would be possible to be. Thank you, Jesus, for giving me the things that make me so ridiculously, overwhelmingly fulfilled: a relationship with you, an amazing husband, and a beautiful family. I don't deserve the grace you've shown, which makes me all the more grateful that you continue to show it to me.
