I thought I understood what love was growing up with a loving mother and brothers and sisters, or when I married my best friend. I didn’t completely understand until I held my baby boy in my arms for the first time. Having children truly feels like I’m wearing my heart outside of my body and every day I can’t believe how much I love those two little people.
We had a very difficult time getting our first two children and in this struggle it has made me even more grateful for my children and the opportunity to be their mother. I feel so blessed that I get to be a mother to one more child coming this May ( I’m fourteen weeks pregnant). I’m looking forward to feeling the baby move and for the morning sickness to go away.
Before Henrik was born I spent years wondering if I would ever be a mother. In this time of Thanksgiving I am most grateful for the privilege of being the mother to (in my opinion) the sweetest most loving children.

I check in every day and almost missed this post! What a beautiful post. You are a wonderful mom and your children are blessed to have you as their mother! Congratulations on being pregnant again. I pray you have a healthy pregnancy and baby, and safe delivery. Thanks for all your great, unique posts. Have a wonderful holiday season with your family.
Thanks, you’re so sweet. I really appreciate your comments. All the best!
I completely agree and love how you expressed it. We have had different journeys but I am also deeply grateful to get to be a mother and to be able to look forward to a new baby in the spring. So glad we get to be pregnant at the same time. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks Marenda! I miss visiting with you. I hope your pregnancy is going well.
