Mothers Love

10 years ago today, May 6th 2001, I walked into Logan Regional Hospital anxious and ready to become a Mommy.  I was however, completely  unaware that when I took that same walk out I would be a different person. I logically knew that  life was going to change. My brain knew that I would have the responsibility of caring for someone else. I knew that my body would be different. I knew that my walk away from the hospital would entail a baby carrier and  most likely a sore & tired body. I thought I knew what it felt like to be a Mom. No doubt that throughout my pregnancy my love and concern  grew for the little baby growing inside me. I was getting glimpses of a Mothers love. Only after having McKenna placed on my chest did I experience the surge of pure joy and lets be honest complete exhaustion was my heart literally changed to be and more fully understand a Mothers love.

Now, looking back & remembering the feelings of my young Moms heart I recognize that this day 10 years ago I began a journey. A journey I wasn't even consciously aware of. It has been the best, the hardest, and the most fulfilling road I could ever have chosen.  I feel so grateful to my Heavenly Father that He has entrusted me to take this journey with an amazing husband and 4 little girls by our side.
