Precious Moments

I love those moments when I am staring at Addison and my heart fills with this overwhelming love.

I love watching her sleep. Every now and then, while she is sleeping, she smiles. She looks so peaceful and happy. I watch as her chest goes up and down with each breath. She is so beautiful and perfect in these moments.

I love it when she makes new sounds or when she does something that surprises me. Pride wells up in me and I just want to share with the world the wonderful things Addison is doing.

I love it when she looks in my eyes and smiles, because she knows who I am.

I love it when I am holding her and she buries her face in my shoulder.

I love watching her grow and change each day, as she discovers the world around her.

I love daydreaming about her future and the things we will do together.

When I am at my worst and feel completely horrible, I look at Addison and she makes me feel hopefully and full of love. I thank God for blessing us with Addison!

Amy, this is sssooooo true! It is wonderful being a mother, isn't it? Something you could never imagine before and something you can't describe to others who haven't experienced it. I'm glad you guys are doing well. Hope to see you soon!
