Thoughts From A Momma

May 11, 2015 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom Leave a Comment

I was going to post this yesterday, but then things just got a little nuts around here.

Today was of course no different {what was I thinking?!} with me going back to work {the sabbatical is over :'(} and Eliza Jane getting diagnosed with a double ear infection {it was a close hijacking…}.

So anyway, here we are on Monday night, the day after Mother’s Day.  And I am reflecting.

We announced on Instagram and Facebook this evening that we are expecting baby #3 in late November.  Can you say, holy moley, three kids under 3?!, Batman?!  🙂

We are beyond blessed and thankful.  But I’m not going to lie and say that I’m not crazy nervous.  I am wildly nervous.

I had a talk with Jesus the night I took the test: “You say….you won’t give me more than I can handle.”

Apparently 1. He thinks we can handle 3 this close together in age and 2. He’s got a sense of humor, doesn’t He?!  Yes, indeedy, He does.

Just so y’all know, the test result was pretty immediate.  I didn’t tell Andrew I was taking the test…to which he later said, “A GOOD wife would have at least told her husband that she was TAKING A TEST!!!”

😀

We had a good laugh together that night.

 

So the reflecting thing.

I became a mom for the first time just two years ago.  Over the last two years, these are some of the things I have cherished the most:

  • Waking up to a child’s singing
  • Hearing “luh you, momma”
  • The cry when I leave the room {though at times it can make it harder…}
  • The wild laughter that comes from Daddy-son wrestle time
  • The snuggles between a brother and a sister
  • The crazy splashing that goes on during bath-time…I need my own towel most nights!
  • Pushing each other on the “buggy” and the joy one little boy has doing it
  • Watching him run down the sidewalk as we walk home from the neighborhood park
  • Seeing him climb the ladder to the big slide for the first time, all by himself
  • Kisses and hugs
  • The joy on the face of a little sister when her big brother comes into the room
  • The laughter from the backseat
  • Watching her try her best to keep up with him {if only she could run!}
  • “Hold {her} hand” when Reynolds wants to hold his sister’s hand
  • The last bottle of the night, with little fingers intertwined into a hand-made blanket from my mom
  • Hearing him say “Alpaca” just because he can say it
  • Story/bed time in one big bed, all four of us
  • Hearing him talk to Lily
  • Big Red Barn “Bi Re Ban” – a favorite book
  • Stepping on little block letters…
  • The battle of brushing the teeth {this almost always requires a strait-jacket}
  • Requesting another kiss or another hug before he goes to sleep
  • Watching them grow and learn, discovering every day new things that they can do
  • “Giza” then “Gi-Jane” and now “Gi-ja Jane”

To the moms and the aunts {especially mine}, the grandmothers {and those I’ve adopted to be such}, the friends and those reading this blog whom I’ve not met yet….Happy Mother’s Day to you.   It’s an incredible gift and no small task to raise a child {or two or three…}, whether your own or someone else’s.  To love, to cherish and to sacrifice are the greatest blessings when done for one of these little ones.

Hey Friend! I'm Michelle and the writer behind this little blog. Thanks for stopping by my little place of happy.
