Miracles (Mother's Day)

A little over 5 years ago, God answered my prayer.  All I wanted was to be a mom.  It's all I prayed for, it's all I dreamed of.  Being a mom has blessed me in so many ways and I believe it was a miracle...the doctors, the treatments, the financing, the friends & family who supported us, our church...God put those all in our path at the exact time we needed them.  Nothing short of miraculous.  Breathtaking really.

And to be blessed with not one, but TWO babies.  WOW.

The gift of being a mom is not lost on me as I watch others struggling with infertility...my heart breaks for them as they travel down the road we had to a few short years ago.  I remember the many Mother's Days spent crying & wondering if I would ever be able to celebrate with my own child.  I will never forget those times - small reminders to cherish every single moment with my kids.

I knew I would love my babies, but I never knew the depth of love.  It is completely overwhelming.  These amazing little people are a gift from God.  Every day isn't perfect & some days are just downright awful, but there is never a day without overwhelming love.

As Austin & Caitlin grow, I pray that they will always feel loved & cherished by me.  Their mom.
