A year ago today, May 25, 2008, Andrew and I found out that I was pregnant!(Read all about it by clicking the title to this post).
I had no idea in the midst of that excitement how motherhood would change my life. This past year has taught me that there is no limit to my capacity to love, no reason not to love my remarkable body (in all shapes and sizes), no challenge that my husband can't handle, and no greater joy than snuggling with your husband and child on a Sunday morning.
I am thankful from the bottom of my soul for this experience - especially the past 3 months, 2 weeks and 6 days!

As if by design, I came across this today on line...
"The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral--a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's body . . . The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God's creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation . . . What on God's good earth is more glorious than this; to be a mother?"
