BONK!

It happened again. It does every so often.

In the middle of the routines, making sure they are fed, clean and dressed. The entertaining, washing bottles, disciplining, go here & there, straightening the house, the list goes on...it hits me. I'm a mom! Mommy. The one title I've wanted for forever. And my heart is glad. I'm so proud of my little family. It didn't happen the way I expected and certainly not when I expected, but it happened and I never want to forget our story.

To all of you Moms-In-Waiting, because that's what you are a mom in your heart... Know that it may not come in the form you think it will or the timing you want it to, but it will come. Don't give up the hope you have, remember where it comes from, guard it, and don't let your "heart get sick" (Proverbs 13:12). And know that you are not alone. There are other MIW's that are walking the same road that you are right now and there are those that have walked it. Most importantly there is the one that already sees the end of the road. Be encouraged!
