freeze

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.
