Oh, the things a Mommy does for her child. The list is endless. I've been a Mom for 9 months today which is such a short time, and I already feel like my..."list of loving", I'll call it, is a mile long. And no complaints here. I have loved every minute since I first laid eyes on my daughter.
If I've learned one thing traveling down the path of motherhood it is that there aren't enough words to describe the sacrafice, the bond and the love a mother feels for their child. It's not enough to describe it. One has to simply, feel it.
I've also learned that the word exhausted is an understatement. After not sleeping through a single night for 9 months (If you are wondering that is 270 nights total.) my eyeslids have an easier time staying open than they do closing. But, holding Edee's half awake little body and gazing at her gentle features in the glow of the hall light at 2 in the morning is sometimes worth it.
I'm not sure I'll even start a list of loving. All the things I do, things I sacrafice and all the time I give Edee is not worth keeping track of. Because I'm rewarded every minute of every day.
Keep loving.
