Motherhood

this picture was almost a year

ago, but we spent a similar

evening on the couch last night.

my girl had some bad dreams

and wanted mommy.

we layed together

on the couch,

and {instead of

anxiously thinking

about how tired

I'd be for work the next day

or about how she

might be cranky

for my mom

due to

less sleep -

which unfortunately

in the past has been

my tendency}

she snuggled

into the crook

of my arm,

and

I

thought (with a

sleepy smile on my face)

I love being a Mom.

Motherhood

stretches

me.

I love, and I am blessed.
