For what seemed like a year, I struggled with finding enjoyment in motherhood. I of course loved my kids, but wasn't necessarily thrilled about being around them all the time. Sad, huh.
But then, something changed. I think the change had something to do with not being pregnant. And prayer. This last month I have loved being a stay at home mom. Even today, after being up two nights with a croupy baby and husband out-of-town, I have loved the time I've gotten to spend with them. We dyed easter eggs with a neighbor and had a fantastic time. I love how Bekah loves to laugh... even the baby lights up when she does. I love how when Kyle gets excited he will do a funny dance. I love that the baby grins when you look at him and smile, even when he's feeling lousy. I'm laughing again, just listening to them talk to each other. Even now, Bekah just came out of bed to tell me, "I think I need to drink some liquids because my voice is gone." Mmm, what you need is to stop talking and go to sleep. She cracks me up.
What a good life we lead. A quiet but great life. Spring is the perfect time to celebrate Easter. The whole earth is celebrating new life with me.
