Because of you...
-Because of you, our little "bonus", I am the mother of four. (Which was not the plan!) -Because of you, I am in the 1% of moms who get the experience of having twins. -Because of you, I know how it feels to almost lose a child...to feel helpless and terrified. I said goodbye before you were airlifted, wondering if I would ever see you again. -Because of you I heard your daddy sobbing, so scared that you weren't going to make it. -Because of you, I thank God for the two little blessings that we got to bring home and welcome into our family. -Because of you, I now know that an out of control child isn't always due to lack of parenting! -Because of you, I know how to get gum out of hair, nail polish off of the kitchen table, white-out off of clothes, Sharpie off of bedroom furniture and powdered sugar out of carpet. -Because of you, I know how to put the computer keys back on, how to childproof things that I never thought needed to be childproofed and how to glue lamps back together. -Because of you, I need to have eyes in the back of my head, running shoes on at all times, ears that can hear a pin drop and the patience of Job. -Because of you, I am learning that I need to develop a new way of parenting, because you just require something a little different than the other three. -Because of you, I need to do laundry every day so that your "awesome shirt" is ready when you go looking for it. -Because of you, I can't sleep past 6:15 am. Even if you sleep longer, I am now programmed to wake up that early. It's not always fun, but I get a lot more done...because of you. -Because of you, I know what an incredibly smart man is like as a little boy....because I know that you will do great things one day with that amazing mind God has given you. -Because of you, I know that I can be so in love with someone that drives me absolutely crazy!
