With all this "baby crazy" going on in my life lately I feel maybe my priorities have gotten a bit skewed :( I began 2010 wanting to do some things for myself, as I felt I had spent almost all of the last 3 years doing things for Graham and Tim and work and never really taking time to myself. But 2 months into 2010 and I am starting to think that maybe I've taken things a bit overboard.
I've taken some time this past week to do some "meditating" if you will, on my life and you know what I realized? I already have the most perfect little boy anyone could ever ask for. God has already blessed me just by giving me the opportunity to be a mom and even more, he has given me a wonderful husband who supports me so I can stay home to take can of him.
I have spent so much time lately worrying about trying to get pregnant or why it is that I can't get pregnant again that I've almost forgotten what happens when you do get pregnant... you get to be a mom! I am a mom and I really need to remember that. Of course I know that I am a mom, I mean I'm still with Graham 24-7, but am I really remembering what it means to be a mom? Like taking the time to laugh and play and hug, taking the time to teach and pray, taking the time to enjoy all that I have already been given! It's unfortunate that sometimes you get so caught up with life and all it's struggles that you forget the important stuff. So even if I'm only ever able to have one baby, I just need to remember: I am already the luckiest person just to have Graham and be a mom!
so very true...i'm not a mommy yet, but am looking forward to it and you have given me some things to think about and remember when my time comes!!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! Sometimes life just gets the best of us and we forget to just be "mom". Hope you have a great week with Graham. I'm thinking of taking the girls to tumble tots if you wanna join us!
ReplyDeleteLove you to the Moon and Back and all the way over the Rainbow.
ReplyDeleteThis "is" the best part of being a Mom. Watching.
