My Girl

Reagan is 8 weeks old today. 

Time has flown. I feel like November 10th was yesterday..not two months ago.

My baby girl has already grown two inches since then, and has gained 3.5lbs. I took this picture of her (below) on Sunday in the Mothers Room at church. I was changing her diaper, and I started to weep because I was so overcome with how beautiful she was. I stared at her for a few minutes as she looked out the window, with her eyes full of curiosity and wonder. I felt like Emilee was there with me, smiling down at Reagan, and basking in the beauty of life. While others in the building were learning about Christ in their Sunday School lessons, I was learning about Him while changing a diaper. 

 Many people have dreams of seeing the world and experiencing everything that the earth has to offer...but after having Reagan, I have realized that my biggest dream is to be a mom, and watch my family grow. That might seem boring or unadventurous to most, but I don't care. Nothing is more fulfilling than sacrificing your time, body, and energy for someone else. It is hard, and I mean really, really hard, but it is incredible.
