I was finishing up finals week at my first semester at USU
I didn't comprehend what a Mothers love was like
I was feeling my little one moving and was anxious to snuggle her
I was taking care of my tiny, and I mean tiny apartment
I didn't own a washer, dryer, or a sofa
I had no idea what after birth exactly was
I never knew that I would love someone so much.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so happy
I had no idea what it felt like to feed a baby of my own
I had no idea what it meant to worry
I hadn't watched Michael perform a blessing in the middle of the night
I didn't know the relief a midnight blessing could give
I didn't think I would ever look at my stretch marks with pride
I had no idea what a sleepless night felt like
I thought I knew and understood how much my parents loved me
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much
I didn't know I would absolutely love being a Mom
8 years, and 4 pregnancies later I am eternally grateful for the opportunity that I have been given to be a Mom to McKenna, Brynlee, Raigynn, and Holland. Happy 8th Birthday McKenna! Thanks for teaching me how to find joy.
