Motherhood is not for Sissies!

Being a mommy is hard! I think I have the good stuff down…you know, the hugs, the encouragement…I can make rules, I feel like I’m a good role model. But the pain that I feel when my children are in pain is like no other emotion I have ever felt…and I just didn’t expect to feel so connected...so helpless...so responsible!
But I do.

And I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Because without the heartache and worry, I would never feel that kind of love between a mother and a child.

Isn’t it the best?

My little Gracie has been through some tough times. And I worry so much because most of her medical conditions have not had a particular daignosis…so they certainly haven’t had a solid resolution. Tomorrow we are taking her to have a VCUG (voiding cystourethrogram) done…they are testing her bladder and kidneys to make sure they are working properly. Please keep her in your prayers.

AMEN sista!! Jackson being a premie I learned early on that the ups and downs of a mom's emotions can rival the waves of a monsoon!! I will be praying for Gracie (and for you!) as the doctors do their tests.
