mommy-hood...

i just came across this contest...
your picture is worth a thousand words dollars motherhood contest...through 5 minutes for mom and eggbeaters. they asked readers to submit pictures that show what motherhood means to them.
i am entering these two pictures...(i just can't make up my mind - thoughtful or real...oooo the tough decisions i must make!)
the first...


this is motherhood at it's finest. the first moment of big sister meeting little sister. i cried and cried the moment that they met, truly met, for the first time. it was as if this dream that i had been waiting and wishing for, was unfolding in front of my eyes. it was watching two best friends meet for the first time, knowing how special their relationship will be, at a time when they really have no idea what is in store. it was seeing the truest sparkle in big sister's eyes at the wonderment of a new baby.


and next...

a real MOMMY moment...trying to get a cute picture of both of the girls when baby is trying to squirm away and toddler is showing an uncomfortable face because she has to go potty and mommy asked her to "please please just wait wait there one more minute hold on to her tighter hey hey baby smile peek-a-boo peek-a-boo baby no no belly look at mommy ...i've almost got it..." oops. needless to say, immediately after this picture was taken, mommy grabbed her purse, left the stroller on the hill and we ran to the nearest restroom...

hope mommy-hood is as bright for you as it is for me! (and just think how much brighter things would look with 1000 extra doll-hairs!) it is definitely something that i wouldn't change for the world...(or extra sleep). the no sleep rather sucks...but i'll take it any day over not having them. i love you girly-girls...you make me a better person.
