Day 15 - A moment, phrase, or song that has changed my life the most...

The moment I heard, "It's a boy! Here he comes!" is probably the moment that has changed my life the most. I became a mother.

I had another sweet human being to care for. It wasn't just me and my hubby anymore. I had to do more, to feel more, and to worry more. Everything I do affects my children, and also having them in my life affects me.

It's not so much that you lose yourself in your children, but more like you find yourself.

I have friends that who do not have children, and while many of them would like to in the future or have plans to, some of them say that they don't ever want to have any. They like the single and/or married life and don't want it to change. I don't judge, but here are a few of the things I wouldn't trade for anything in the world:

1.) Sloppy kisses in bed on a lazy morning

2.) "I love you, Mommy."

3.) Knowing that I am the only person in the world who can comfort my babies the way that they need me to during difficult times

4.) Homemade gifts/cards overflowing with love and thoughtfulness

5.) Seeing the wonder and excitement in their eyes when they learn or experience something new

6.) Unconditional love

7.) That first ever "full-on" belly laugh from the baby

8.) The "new" baby scent (sweet & like baby powder)

9.) Having them look up to me like I am their hero (even if I'm not worthy)

10.) Knowing that one day, I will hopefully get to experience watching them as parents too. I hear grandkids are even more fun than your children are. :)

I love you Grant and Anna!!!
