When was the first moment you felt like a mom? When the little stick read "positive?" When you first felt him kick? When you first saw his little body on your 2D sonogram picture? When you first held him in your arms?
At whatever point this blessing became real to you, he was your child long before that. The moment you conceived - even before you had any idea there was a being inside of you - you became a mom. The moment you realized you'd be adopting a beautiful baby, you became a mom. How you became a mom doesn't matter. If you care for little ones, on any range of the spectrum, you are a mom.
My older sister experienced the joy of holding one of God's miracles for the second time yesterday. Evan Joseph was 9 lbs, 2 oz and almost 23" long (22 and 7/8" to be exact.) He's perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Big brother Matthew got to experience the excitement, too, as he first met his brother on this side of the womb. He couldn't stop staring and touching him!
What a blessing for God to allow us to be used in such a beautiful process. The fact that He allows us to play a role in bringing about one of the most amazing processes known to man speaks to just how loving our Heavenly Father is.
Thank God for new life. And for good mommies. Both gifts from the Lord.
