Miksa,

I passed this blog on to my daughter-in-law, who is a first-time mom of a 3 month old. She loved it so much, she passed it on to two of her friends.

It truly is lovely. I think you should get Winn to connect you to a publisher, for your spare time of course:)

yes, yes. a resounding yes.

my heart has broken apart in a thousand ways and for a thousand reasons, and it will probably do so a thousand more. the love a mother has for her child is a very powerful thing.

i read this three times. not because i didn't grasp it. but because i wanted to linger there longer with you and your beautiful words. and, yes, seriously, wth with the stretch marks?! i think there's a whole nudder post about the symbolism of those mama jamas. but, maybe we just leave that one alone. :-)

Once again, beautifully written. Thanks for sharing your heart and journey in motherhood so openly and honestly. (You are one kick-ass Mom, by the way.) Congrats on having a 8-year-old...I can't believe it.

Your writing of motherhood is beautifully put and, of course, it brought back memories for me too. While my son Chad is grown, a young man of thirty-one years now, he’ll always be my little boy. A mother has a special place within the heart, where treasured memories are tucked lovingly away, so then they’re revisited in the years to come. It’s after the home returns to quiet, like it was in anticipation of this birth, we realize then in revisiting the tucked memories that we’d do it all over again. Somehow a mother sees more clearly then God’s unconditional love, which is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The joy in the memories never leave even when it might appear otherwise, because such love only grows, at least it’s this way for me which prayerfully is reflected in my life and in Mommy’s Writings.

Cried when I read this (at work), thanks to the powerful words and the crazy pregnancy hormones. Glad you'll be close by as I journey into motherhood. I think I'm gonna need some help, comic relief, re-assurance of sanity. Here we go!

Happy Birthday WYATT!

wow! i can't believe wyatt is 8! it just doesn't seem like very long ago that we were playing with him in the dcf nursery as a toddler.

"costly.priceless." rings so true to me right now!

The part about not being able to take a carefree breath... Yes. That.

Your blog always makes me think. I like that. I don't think any of us are really prepared for the range of emotions that is motherhood, but then again, how could we be because we have never before experienced anything like it. Here's to charging forward with eyes and arms open and never being the same person again. And, 'happy birthday' to Wyatt!

Oh, how I love your words. And you.

I love the image of "courage and foolishness." I'm glad you have both - and so much more.
