On the very hot summer day , I saw those two little lines on an oddly peach colored pee stick . In that moment I became a mother .
My whole body, my whole being was invested in growing this human.
I was a mother.
A little less than nine months later , in the middle of the night , I woke Travis .
It was time.
The contractions were intense. I focused on the stained glass on the ceiling . Travis coached me through , my mom was on a plane on her way, and my mother in law spooned me ice chips .
This was it, I thought .
You were finally going to be in my arms.
You are about to make me a mother .
One more push and there you were , naked,slick,screaming, and totally cute.
You snuggled on my chest , we were taking each other in.
We all were crying,you were so beautiful and perfect.
And we named you Jeremiah.
YAHWEH has uplifted
In that moment, you made me a mom.
Of course, I dressed you,changed you, fed you , snuggled you for as long as you'd let me.
Oh Jeremiah ,you made me a mom.
I've watched you grow from an itty bitty 4 pounds 8 ounces to a healthy and wonderful little toddler.
I saw you roll over for the first time.
I saw your first smile .
I saw you standing in your crib, waiting with a smile , looking so proud .
I get to see how mischievous smile when you cause trouble .
You made me a mom .
I really thought I would spend my life as a mom teaching you .
But I was wrong .
You've spent your first year teaching me.
Seeing all kinds of needles ,tubes and oxygen going into your body , you've taught me to be brave .
Seeing you through blood draws and blood transfusions , you've taught me to let nothing keep you down .
Jeremiah , I am so thankful that our God gave me to you .
I get to be your mom .
I get to hold you when you fall down.
I get to get you ready for your first day of school
I get to watch you play sports .
I get to deal with your teenage boy years .
I get to watch you marry and have children of your own
I get to see you make your dreams come true .
I get to see you love and follow Jesus .
I just love being your mom .
And I love you .
