Sweet Baby of Mine...

I have always thought it was so amazing how much we as Mothers could love our children. Each little child we are sent immediately has their own place in our hearts. When we think there couldn't be any more room for any more love,  somehow room is made.

As much as I joke around about having "14 kids," I cannot imagine my life without this sweet baby of mine. The moment she was placed in my arms I was a different person. I have more love for her than I could ever have imagined.

I am so grateful for Julia and for the little angel she is. I know I have a lot to learn, and will always be learning and growing as a mother, but I am so happy to be mother again. A mother of four.

My "four princesses" as I call them. I love you girls.

I can't get over how beautiful she is! I can't believe that the feelings of motherhood you are describing will actually be something I can relate to in three short weeks! I can't wait to become a mom and to experience everything that comes with it. I love you, Pee! Your four little girls are so lucky to have you as their mom.

She could not be cuter. I adore Julia. I am so happy for you and Zeb. You are wonderful, loving parents. Your girls are all so sweet. I miss you like crazy and I'm thinking about you all the time. Keep on posting... I am loving it!! There is nothing in this world like a new baby. A new spirit to love. I am so happy for you. I love you.

I totally know how you feel, as I am sure that every mother does. Every discomfort that your experience while pregnant, dissolves once you hold that sweet baby.
Julia is so beautiful. I can't wait to see her. I am sorry that we haven't come over yet. I wanted to give you and your family time and room to adjust. Oh, and I've been potty training Maren.
love you.

She is just so beautiful. What a doll. Congrats again.
It is so true...the love a mother has for her children. I just couldn't imagine my life without my kidlets. I just want more and more too, at least sometimes....we have our days.

What a beautiful baby! I love pictures of "fresh" babies. Enjoy every second of her while she is tiny. I swear I just blinked and my Madelyn is 9 months old!
