The Joys of Mommyhood

13. Appreciating YOUR mom. You never know how much she sacrificed for you until you become a mom. I always hated it when she said, "Wait until you have kids one day Heather." It is SO true! Thanks mom for being an example of what a true mother is. You sacrificed so much for me without me even knowing it at times. I hope that I am half of the mother that you were and are!

8. While Wesley sucks his thumb he proceeds to put his enitire hand in his mouth.

9. Watching him splash his little feet and hands in the bath tub.

10. Knowing that I get to love him and take care of him for the rest of his life.

11. Realizing everyday that I am so blessed to be able to share this journey with David.

12. Also realizing how selfish and immature I used to be and now it's not about me, but about my family.

The joys of mommyhood

Over the next few days I am going to start listing every thing that I love about being a mom. Here are a few that I have come up with so far....


1. Wesley's smile

2. Smelling him after he gets out of the bath

3. Hearing him laugh

4. Watching him sleep

5. Watching him soak in ever little thing

6. The way he grunts when he is trying to fall asleep

7. Cuddling him before he goes to bed

"There is no greater love that a mother's love for her child."
