There is nothing more magical than the love of a child, or the way that your heart leaps within you when they open their arms up and cry for your attention!
I'm sometimes struck with the awesomeness of what great responsibility I have as a Mother. Sometimes I think that I don't really realize what I have in front of me and I seem to take it for granted.
This little person, has been intrusted to me to raise, to love, to be there for her for the rest of my life! I can't simply give up, when the "going gets tough" or slip away for vacation and forget what responsibilites I have anymore. It's a BIG thing.
But at the same time, the love I have for her is so amazing! I look at that smiling face at 12am, 2am, 4am, & 6am in the morning (yep!) and when she grins up at me saying "good morning Mom!" all of my irritations seem to melt away and I remember...
All of the jabs and leg "kicks" mean so little, my sleep means to little, and the fact that my house is dirty and I "only wish I had more time" doesn't quite mean so much.
I just do the best I can, love her, put Him first, love my family, serve them and all the rest seems to "fall into place".
What an awesome gift! I am so blessed.
Now it's off of my lazy, procrastinating rear end and off to take a shower and clean my house while that little "booger" sleeps...

Seeing the love you have for your daughter is so amazing to me. I can hardly wait until the day comes for me. It is like you said, a wonderful gift.
Tonight as I sat on the couch and I felt my baby move inside of me and the love that over came me can not be told to anyone who never gone through this. I am so thankful.
