I prayed for this.
I prayed for sleepless nights
I prayed for nights in not out
I prayed for shortened showers (If any!)
I prayed for spit up on my clothes
I prayed to hear a baby’s cry not my own
I prayed for messy hair
I prayed for less quality time with my husband
I prayed for less space in the house
I prayed for more laundry
I prayed for more dishes
I prayed for not having enough time in the day
I prayed for stretch marks
I prayed for a messy house
I prayed for less spending money
I prayed for changing poopy diapers
I prayed for all of this and more. You see, if I had all of these things, then I would have you. I prayed for this, I prayed for you.

Beautiful! Funny how people often complain about the answer to their prayers. I was told I couldn’t have children. I prayed and prayed and I listened to other people complain about mom life. I was blessed with babies and I know, I prayed for them (& still do). Everything about it, even the struggles are the greatest blessings in my life!

Thank you so much for sharing Cassie! We were told that we couldn’t have children as well and it always hurt to hear people complaining about the things that I longed to experience. A lot can happen in a year! We became parents to two miracles and I wouldn’t change a thing! Even the sleepless nights and spit up! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you so much for reading! It is hard to get lost in the chaos of motherhood and forget the beauty of the imperfections!
