Motherhood

This morning I put Mack in her highchair for her breakfast of cheerios, banana and milk and walked into the kitchen to get myself something to eat. Seeing as how I had just given Mack the last of the milk, I decided a poptart it was. I walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch and began checking my email.
From over on the other side of the room I hear this: " Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.... down, DOWN!"
I walked over and saw that she had finished most of her breakfast and walked back into the kitchen, grabbed a rag and proceeded to wipe her down and get her down for the highchair.
I walked back into the kitchen with the rag and her tray and proceeded to clean it off. I walk back into the living room to see my daughter SHOVELING MY POPTART! into her mouth as fast as her little fingers would move. I shouted "HEY!, Thats mommy's!" At this she jumped about a foot in the air and took of in a run across the living room, poptart in hand. I had to chase her around and under the table to get it back and by the time I did, what was left after she devoured it was smashed and mutilated.

I found myself laughing so hard I couldn't discipline her cherry filling covered face.

God has a way of giving you what you need just when you need it... An encouraging word, a friendly hug, or in this case, a good laugh... Even if you have to sacrifice a poptart in the process.

The past month has been a process of change and acceptance for me. Learning how to cope and accept the loss of my unborn child and allowing God to begin the healing process in my life. I'm not going to lie and say it's been easy and I've been able to move on, but I have accepted it and am placing it in God's hands hat He knows what is best for me and my family. I feel that I am at peace with what has happened and pray that God will guide me in the path i am to take now. I thank him everyday for what he has given me, especially for my beautiful little poptart stealing daughter.

Thanks to all who have kept us in their prayers, it has been a great help to know that we are supported by so many people.
