The Three of Us

One of the first times I realized I was falling in love with Jared was when he played this song in front of me.  I was making a playlist for the hospital the other day and put this song on it. I listened and realized that our family wont just be the two of us anymore but the three of us, and we will have a new little one to fall in love with. Still counting down the days.........

3 More Weeks!!

3 Weeks until my due date!!!! In the last few weeks I have had such a mix of emotions. Part of me is anxious and nervous, not just about labor but about motherhood in general. I feel sad that my little girl is soon going to be here and not in my belly anymore. Even though I have been so uncomfortable my baby will never be as close to me as she is right now. She is definitely getting some last kicks to my ribs in, making sure I wont forget what it was like to have her in my tummy. I cant wait to hold her little newborn body in my arms and have her snuggle on my chest. 

Today I was asked to come in and say a few words about motherhood to the young women in the ward. I was asked during sacrament meeting so I had a few hours to ponder motherhood and my thought on becoming a parent. I re-read the Family Proclamation to the World and thought about the huge responsibility we have as parents to raise our children. As women we are given such an amazing gift from our Heavenly Father to be mothers and carry a child. Going through pregnancy I have gained a stronger testimony of the Plan of Salvation and the fact that a spirit is being sent to Jared and I. Heavenly Father is entrusting us with one of his children, and it is such an honor. I have realized that I want to strive to be a better person and commit myself to studying the gospel more so I can be an example to my children.
