On December 10th I gave birth to a baby girl. This is my third child, so much of the experience is similar to what it was the other two times. There was, however, something different about this experience. I feel in love immediately with my new daughter as I did when my other two were born. This is the first time I have felt in my heart that our family is complete. I was meant to have the exact three children that God gave me. This was a new feeling for me.
I think because this is our last baby I have finally achieved the ‘calm’ state of being a mommy. I don’t find myself frustrated over lack of sleep. I am no long stressing over my success (or lack of) with breastfeeding. I am trying to enjoy every moment of this perfect little creature because I will not have them anymore. What I will continue to have is a heart that bursts and breaks with every smile and tear because it is so full of love. My cup definitely runneth over!
