the newness has yet to wear off.
the newness of being his mommy.
the newness of being mommy to them all.
waking up each morning to their tiny voices.
going to bed each night feeling fulfilled and at peace.
the reality of my 'job' as their mommy still feels new.
the knowledge of my importance in their life… still new.
how much they need me when they're sick, want me when they're well, and love me — fresh and new.
i'm still their super hero but they are the ones that saved me.
i hope it always feels this new and exciting and a little bit scary.
{because}
being this in-love makes me feel complete and so very special.

Weird how motherhood works, for the longest time I felt like I was just babysitting R when she first was born and after a while it sink in she is ours and we are to keep her! What a blessing.
I think by the time we get use to the newness it will be time for grandchildren LOL!!!
Great post enjoy them all the day of your life:-)

The scenery changes. The feelings change. Their perpspective changes. They grow up and get wings. The reality that you are thier mom and will always love them never changes. The thing that changes the most along the way is you.

such cute pics … and a great positive outlook on what is both a laborious and fabulous job. i feel the same way — about my baby and my marriage — very blessed that i still have "new" feelings, and trying to soak them all up in case the well ever starts to feel dry…
Those boots are just too adorable!!!

Ain't motherhood grand?
I love the part of how they saved you – I remember the first time I came to that realization. And I try hard never to forget it!
