Being a Mommy

When you are growing up, you always wonder what it feels like to be the mommy. You play babies and you dress up and you play the mommy. The love of a mommy is undescribable... When I was pregnant with Ella I wondered and worried would I be able to take care of her? How would I know what she needed? Would I be a good mommy? Now that she is here, I feel like I never wasn't a mommy. Loving her and taking care of her came so easily. Changing diapers, 4 am feedings, fussy moments are all worth holding that little baby in my arms. I always watched my mom and wondered how she could have 7 kids and never be phased or pushed too far. Her love for us all came so easy and I never understood. But now that I am the mommy, I understand completely. I hope Ella grows up knowing how much her mommy and daddy love her, just like I knew mine loved me. Then some day, I hope she gets to feel what its like to be the mommy instead of the baby :)

I took this picture yesterday afternoon while I was doing laundry... it is kinda blurry yet it seemed so perfect...
