It Finally Happened

Well.... Yesterday was March 23, 2009. I was getting ready to go shopping for Whitney's blessing dress. She was playing under her play mat. ( which she loves) and I went out of the room for a minute and then I could hear start fussing a little bit and she does that sometimes when she is tired or hungry, but I thought that I had already changed her, fed her, what else could be wrong. She also loves to be held so I thought that maybe she wanted to be held, so I go into the living room and there she was on her tummy. She had rolled over!!! By herself and I didn't even get to watch her do it!! I was so excited so I put her on her back and see if she would do it again. Nope not a dang thing happened after that. I can't believe I missed it. I think that I have miss independent on my hands. :)

through whitneys eyes

Tonight as I put Whitney to bed and watch her try to put herself to sleep I see that little hand come up and she looks at her hand like she has never seen before. As she twist and turns it to see how her hand works and she is amazed that it can move and it is attached to her. How we take things for granted like our hands where someone so tiny loves to look at her tiny hands and is awwed by their sight. As I rock her back and forth I think to myself of the out pouring love I have for Whitney this must how God feels for everyone of us. He wants us to be happy and he is always there for us no matter what our circumstance is. Before I became a mom I didn't understand how much God really loved me, but now that I am a mother I think I might understand that he loves me and wants the best for each of his children. What a blessing Whitney is to our family. She is a ray of sunshine and brings me joy everyday. Waiting 4 years was all worth it!! It was hard at times and I didn't think that I would ever become a mother. Yes it is hard sometimes with lack of sleep, but it is all worth it. I love being her mother and wouldn't ask for a better child. I hope she stays happy! I love my sweet whitney. Good Night Whitney see you in the morning!

update

well.... I will hurry and say that since october 29, 2008 our lives have changed dramatically and I love being a mother. I especially love holding Whitney in my arms at night while I play paul cardall songs to her as she falls asleep. I love playing his music to her. I usually play I am a child of God and I rock her to sleep. She is such a joy to be around and I love being her mother. I am so blessed to have this oppurtunity to have such a wonderful little spirit in our home. She brings me such joy and happiness that I can't describe. I defenitly now know what a mother's love is all about and what a sweet joy she is. I love her so much!
