Last Week of Maternity Leave

Tomorrow begins my last week at home with Bronwyn. I know it will go back fast. I'm trying to focus on the many positives and count my many-many blessings. But I have to admit, I'm not ready to go back just yet.

It's hard to know where the time has gone and now my 6 weeks of maternity leave is nearly over.

I've spent hours holding Little Miss B each day... and before I know it, it's time to start another day. She has been an amazing addition to my life and I often have no words for it. It is everything I expected it to be (motherhood) and so very much more. There aren't many aspects of my life and my life experiences that render me speechless. There are just no words adequate enough to explain how I feel about Bronwyn and being her mother.

But I adore watching Bronwyn grow and change. Something new happens every day! She's growing right before my eyes, literally.

Today she discovered mirrors. Daddy held her up in front of the bathroom mirror. We put a play mirror in her crib and in the car. She stared and stared! Of course we think she's gorgeous. I think she's starting to realize that about herself too. Mirror Mirror on the Wall indeed.
