The real meaning behind motherhood

I received this link to a blog today, and it just sounds so true and right. Motherhood is lovely, but also scary. I love how the author says you walk around with a fissure on your heart after you become a mother. Isn't it true? We know what life holds, and we don't want our babies to go through it. But they will. There's nothing we can do to stop it. Except try to love them through it and keep our sanity along the way. Take a minute to read it. http://blogs.babycenter.com/mom_stories/06112012-what-does-motherhood-feel-like/

9 Months

Well, here we are, and time has flown by once again. Luke is already 9 months old, and well on his way to almost turning one. Seriously. Fastest year ever! Poor Luke gets the shaft sometimes, and being the horrible mother that I am, I haven't even bought a baby book for him yet. I know. I'm the worst. Mother. Ever. I was also late on getting his 9 month pictures done, so I decided I would shoot some of him myself. Can I just say that he is the sweetest, cutest, little baby in the world. Such a happy, contented boy. I am so enjoying watching his looks and personality develop. I will post a few of the pics I took below, and one of Caleb at 9 months. You can tell they are brothers, but their looks are quite different, in my opinion. Just had to share some photos of my darling 'Lukie'. (Caleb at 9 months old)
