Happy Birthday Audrey Grace


Three years ago today everything changed for me. Three years ago today I became a mom.

Audrey Grace was born at 9:10 PM on November 4th, 2010 and entered this world and my heart. I had no idea what I was in for, couldn’t predict the sleepless nights, the challenges of nursing and pumping, the love that would overtake me, the constant worry and concern for her tiny being, the pure joy over a baby’s smile and giggle, the excitement of watching her crawl, walk, and eventually run.
 
Now she is running all the time…not only does she literally run, but she also runs our lives, our hearts, our home. She always wants to be the “leader” and “in charge.” She is strong willed and independent. I hope she stays that way and throughout her life remains confident in her abilities and choices.

But even in all her confidence and strength, I am still and always will be her mom, which means for the rest of my life I will have…sleepless nights, worry and concern, abounding joy and love, and exciting days.
 
The day you become a mom your life changes and nothing is ever the same, and every day I thank God for that.
