The Joy Of Motherhood Comes In Moments.

After playing all morning with Aubree I watch her drift off to sleep. I honestly could spend all day watching her, and sometimes I do. I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Ben will walk through the door after work and I won't have the bed made or house cleaned. I will still be in my pajamas either laying next to Aubree or playing with her. Luckily he doesn't mind. I feel as though these little moments will and are going by to fast. The house and everything else will still be there, but she will never be this little again, I will never have these moments with her again. I cherish the quiet moments I have with her all by myself. I want her to grow up remembering how much fun we had together. It's amazing how much love I have for this tiny little human being. Sometimes I can't believe she is mine and I get to be her mom. She has the sweetest spirit and I feel like she knows me and we know each other. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of the plan of salvation and I know we will be together forever. I am so blessed to be married to someone who loved me enough to take me to the temple and make me his forever. He is the best partner and father, he is my soulmate. I can't wait to see what the future brings us. This new chapter with Aubree is already so wonderful I can't imagine how the rest of our life is going to be. It just keeps getting better. I hope I can be the best mother to my children and the best wife to Ben. Elder Russell M. Ballard once said; "What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else." I truly believe that being a mother is a gift and I will enjoy these special simple moments I have with my daughter. <3
