I was a young mom with my other children. When I hear people talk about young moms not being good moms or not valuing motherhood because of their age I can't relate to it. In my first marriage we waited 3 years to have a baby. A dear friend of mine has often said that Andrew was the most wanted baby he had ever seen. He was indeed! I love motherhood, embraced it and we celebrated and loved each and every stage. Several years ago I yearned for those years back. Not to re-do because I was full of regret but honestly I have said before that if I had one wish I would want to go back in time and have Andrew and Jacob for babies and toddlers for a few days! I don't get to do that. I do value and love the seasons that I have with them now but I have to say they are not as sweet and cuddly.
I have had the amazing gift of having another baby later in life. I am trying to freeze in time those cuddle moments, mommy kisses and falling asleep in my arms gifts. I have a handful of precious memories that I hope to keep near and dear in my heart that I think only come with a new life. I am forever grateful for the gift and the precious lives that have been placed in my care.
