Becoming a Mother
The twins are ten weeks old tomorrow. It feels like they have always been here - I cannot imagine life without them. It just feels perfectly natural, like they have always been here. They have grown and learnt so much and yet they are only teeny still.
Hearing their first cry was indescribable - as is meeting them for the first time and seeing their little faces and finally getting to cuddle them. Since then we have been learning about their little personalities - their activities inside the womb are playing out on the outside too. And it is funny observing them together because in one way they don't really bother with each other but in another way they are so sure of each other being present and are so used to each other.
Becoming a family is such an adventure. We love being together - we have brought the girls into our world. They love worship and music, as well as laughter. They have been introduced to lazy Saturday mornings as well as coffee shops and Forestside. They love being outside and they have started to smile and coo. I can't stay mad at them when we have a long night which is not that often because they are really good at nights. I miss them being so tiny and yet I can't wait to see them grow.
I started a hashtag jpr as a challenge to myself to do more than stay positive but to capture the good, the inspirational, the moments that pass by really quickly. It is a project of love and also of learning and growing. There are many things I still have to learn about being a mother and a lot of those will be learnt on the job. But I also have a lot to share about my journey too. Becoming a mother has taken everything I have learnt up to the 24th July 2014 and all I have learnt since and am continuing to learn. I am a mother, a wife, a friend, a counsellor, a child.....I am all who God created me to be and I don't want to miss out on anything. Abundant life.
