Amazed at being a Mommy

Well, not much has been happening with the adoption process right now. We are in the waiting stage of things...which gets long and hard!
I thank God everyday for the 3 wonderful blessings He has already given to Brian and I. They grow up SO fast, and sometimes it makes me so sad. I love and enjoy every new stage my babies enter, but when I think back when they truly were babies it makes me realize how much time has went by.
I'm very eager to get our new daughter home and start our life with her, but I try hard not to be SO focused on that, that I take for granted to 3 blessings I have here with me now.
Last night Brian put the kids to bed and said the prayers w/them while I was putting BrayLee {my 4mth old great niece that is staying w/us for a little while} to bed. When I was finally done bathing, feeding and rocking her to sleep he told me BaiLee wanted me to pray w/him also. I went up stairs and all 3 of them were fast asleep. I had to wake each of them up just to tell them I love them. I just sat there looking at them, rubbing their little faces, amazed at the fact that God chose me to be their mommy. What an awesome gift and responsibility. My oldest is about to be 10 years old, and even to this day sometimes when I hear them call me "mama" or "mommy" I stop and think "Wow, I'm a Mommy!!!" I love my children so much and pray that I take time to slow down and really enjoy the times that are so special with them. Being a Mommy is amazing.
