I haven’t been to your blog in a while and now I am mad at myself for that. You are such a great writer.

I love the thought that my boys have always been with me. God’s work is wonderful.

This is such a great post. You are QUALITY.

And I totally know what you mean – my heart hasn’t returned to normal size either.

Also, I never have sat and thought about the fact that my children lived in me before I was even born. That is amazing.

Amazing.

You always make me feel blessed to be a mother.

Beautiful post. You’ll find that as the years go on, that watermelon-sized heart will swell to prize-winning humungous size when Sean…

walks into his kindergarten classroom and is a brave boy…

when he ‘graduates’ from kindergarten and they play the slideshow complete with schmaltzy songs designed to make you cry like a baby.

when he graduates from high school…

and then when he graduates from college…

and that is as far on this journey as I have gotten…

I will let you know how my heart explodes at weddings and grandbaby births…

which I guess is nect on my experiences yet to come list.

I love that part about the eggs. I have a friend who lost her son with only 4 weeks left until her due date. I’ll be passing that along to her.

That ending just about sums up the joy of motherhood. I’d say that your heart is the size of one of those gigantic first-place-winning watermelons that can be seen in the state fairs too.

Loved this post, AM. Loved it.

My first son’s baby book is an ultrasound picture of him as an unfertilized egg…after seeing it I was pregnant 2 weeks later!
