Motherhood






Motherhood means in between changing her clothes and yours after she spits up, changing diapers, feedings, playtime, and nap time you have a few moments to either sleep, shower, eat or clean. Motherhood means being woken up at 2 or 3 in the morning when you had just laid down at midnight. Motherhood means bouncing, rocking, making silly faces and noises, tickling, and kissing till she smiles or laughs. Motherhood mean giving up your day to make hers special. Motherhood means being the one who can make it all better when the baby powder is knocked over and falls on her head. Motherhood means getting priceless smiles in the morning or after a nap when she wakes up. Motherhood means she calms down when she gets put back in your arms. Motherhood means sitting there watching her breathe as she sleeps because you care so much. Motherhood means washing loads of blankets and outfits from a messy baby. Motherhood means feeling like you have the whole world in your arms as you rock her to sleep. Motherhood means having the best job in the world.


I love motherhood. It's my favorite job. Yes I get little sleep, yes I get aggravated and worn-out but it is so worth it in the end. Madilyn has become quite the talker and it very active. She loves to be played with and she has a very funny personality and she is quite the character. She is getting bigger and bigger very week and changing all the time. She rolls over now and I am very proud of her. We went the beach last week and she LOVED the water and sand. She is just adorable. She is so loving and fun! It is just a blast to spend time with her. She makes some crazy noises and it is just hilarious. I love her at this age but I can't wait to see what she grows up to be like..I pray like Christ.
