Almost 3 months...

Almost 3 months have passed since Kenley officially entered our lives. They say a baby changes everything and it's so true. It makes you know a love you've never know before. It makes you appreciate time with loved ones more. It makes you closer to your mother and sister and other woman who have experienced the miracle of birth. It makes you cherish and value the little things in life, like a smile and a giggle. Having a baby is the opportunity to see God and see His plan unfold right before your eyes. Having a baby means you just got to participate in creating a miracle.

When people ask me if I like being a mother, I suddenly notice that I'm smiling from ear to ear. Yes, I love it. God has blessed me with the most amazing and important role a woman can play. He allowed me to carry a human life inside of me and now He has entrusted me to help her grow. He gave us the most amazing baby and each day with her is new and amazing. How could I not like being a mother?! I absolutely love it!!

It is so hard to believe that almost 3 months have passed. They've gone by so quickly and I've tried to hold on to each moment. I knew healing from a c/section would be difficult but the emotional healing process after having a baby is one I did not prepare for, nor could I have predicted. I have days where I miss being pregnant. I miss feeling that new perfect life moving. I miss the anticipation of her arrival. I miss the excitement of those first couple of days after she was born. I've forgotten the pain and discomfort I felt when I was at my largest. Forgotten the pain of healing from surgery. Forgotten the nausea in the beginning. All that occupies my memory is the excitement and anticipation that our daughter was on her way. Isn't amazing how God can let you 'forget' those things that at one point made you miserable? He truly is amazing and I cannot wait to do it all over again! Maybe minus the nausea! ;p

Three months go by too quickly...but they have been the most amazing months in my life!
