    As you may know, my daughter is a little over 14 months old. She is spunky, she is full of life, she is independent, she is a snuggler, she is carefree and she is loving! I so enjoy my sweet moments with her. As I was nursing her last night, and feeling this overwhelming sense of love and amazement... I thought about what it means to be a mom. 
    It is no small task being a mom, and it is certainly the biggest, scariest, most amazing aspect of life I have yet encountered! I needed to spill out my thoughts on paper, so I thought what better place to do it than my blog.

    So what do I feel as a mom and believe other women feel as moms when they look at their child?

• This unexplainable, gut wrenching love.
• A need to protect this beautiful child, at all costs (even at the cost of her own life).
• The urgency to protect that child's innocence.
• So much pride in that child's accomplishments.
• Fear of the unknown for that child.
• Hope for the future, for her child's future. 
• Wonderment at how God could use her to help to create such a beautiful child.
• A desire to be a part of every moment in that child's life. 
• A desire to calm her children when they cry, laugh when they laugh, pick them up when they fall down, & kiss all of their tears away.
