I am starting to get the whole mom thing of wanting to freeze things the way they are now.
Truly, I love the way my life looks right now. Oh sure, I want more babies, a bigger home, etc. But honestly, I'm content with my life.
I was thinking this week about our upcoming adoption plans, and it makes me a little sad. I love my time with Nathan. He is my only child and gets my undivided attention. He's the only one who will ever get that. I love my time with him. He is sweet, funny and little wild. I love the age he is right now. Everything is new & big to him. He totally gets it when I show him something new and I get so much joy from watching him discover, learn and explore.
I know, I will still have that once another baby comes along. But, I know it will never be just like this again. Yes, in a lot of ways it will be better. I'm just savoring my time with the boy who made me a mom. Some days I think my heart might just explode because the love is way too much to contain. I pray that I never take being a mom for granted.
I can't wait to see God's plans for my little family, but I'd also love to freeze time right now.

I'm sure you may have felt that a time or two when it was just you & Mike. It's life changing experiences...and as you said, it's still going to be for good. Jeremiah 29:11...and Nathan gets to experience another new venture...being a big brother!!! :)
Awww, I wonder if my mom ever felt that way. Now I want to ask her. :):):) About wanting to freeze time and just live in a very specific moment just because it was perfect to her.
I know I have a few of those.
...I hadn't thought about it before, but those moments I want to freeze have been times spent with my mom.
I think your kids will feel the same when they grow up.
Hugs,
Lory
