I love being a mom

Stephen said the other day that there is no love like the love you feel for your child. I always believed that abstractly but having Annika here has made me realize it intensely. I'm still on modified bedrest (that is, I can have a life but can't really do anything too physical) so I spend a lot of time holding the babe. A few people have said, "That must be hard/boring/tiring - always having to be with/hold the baby." Not really. I'm constantly fascinated by how no matter how tired or frustrated I get, I smile as soon as I look at my lovely daughter. I really do love being a mom.
