Grace Elisabeth is my first baby. The oldest one. Her birthday is the 18th. Fast forward 7 years. Yes, SEVEN. Isaac Theophilus is born on the 19th. My last baby. The youngest one. These two are so precious to me. Each representing the first part and the last part of the baby era in my life.
I love this picture. I'm amazed at the difference in their sizes. Grace was once that small and Isaac will one day - all too soon - be that big. I'm feeling all mushy and sentimental right now. As much as I'm truly done with having any more children, there is a part of me that mourns not carrying another precious babe. It has been such an honor to be blessed in bringing four amazing people into the world. There is much in my heart that I'm not too sure how to express, or even if I can express. The best I can do is say, "Thank you, God". My heart is full. How blessed I am. For real.......I think I may need to look back at this post in the future when I'm having one of those many stressful idon'tthinkicandothismommythinganymore days. Because let's face it, being a mommy is hard. But it is more of a gift and a blessing. And I won't forget that.
love this picture.
