*This is my 5-Day count down to Little Girl’s due date. Each day I’m introducing her to another member of her new family. See Day 3 here.

Hi, I’m your mama.
You already know me because you’ve been hanging out with me for 9 months or so.
I had a long, thoughtful post planned for today — on motherhood, on daughterhood, on the meaning of it all.
But then your brother was mad because he couldn’t eat cookies for dinner and your sister was teething and I haven’t really had time to sit and write — but don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of time to talk about all those things.
Mostly I can say this: I love being a mama. It has given my life more purpose, passion and perspective than anything I have ever experienced. It has made me more thoughtful. It has strengthened my faith. It has changed the way I see the world — in the kind of way that happens when someone encounters a miracle and knows that life is much, much bigger than we are.
And speaking of bigger.
See you soon, Little One.

I’ve never been this excited for someone’s baby
your children are lucky to have you…I hope I’ll be a mom like you one day. I wish people would understand that children aren’t born in this world for the parents. Parents are born for them. Imagine that; God giving you his original masterpiece and leting you care for it until it’s grown and does the same thing. Circle of life 
Good bless
