For mothers of more…

Today I read this blog post,

http://booksandbairns.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-am-not-mother-i-wanted-to-be.html

It really spoke to me. DSC_1985smLately I have unintentionally been comparing myself to moms of 1 or 2. Many people around me have 1-2 and its just different to have 3 under 5 while pregnant. Check it out.

Another post I think worth sharing, from a mom of 4 in 5 years: http://www.conversiondiary.com/2009/06/tips-for-surviving-and-thriving-in.html

**Picture of my 3 kids, its hard to get a picture of a 1 year old, 2 year old, and 4.5 year old! I am going to try again soon though…

    Oooh, thanks for sharing this! It *is* good for us to remember how unique our families are, needs are, strengths are…I especially liked the second link. :)

    That first one has me crying, so I am afraid to open the second. The girl has been at camp, and not only have I missed her, I have missed how much she does to help care for her brothers. Than I was feeling guilty, I’m the mommy, not her. After reading this quote:
    “My children have a cheering section, not a number one fan. They have a chorus of voices that sing their praises and hands that reach out to help no matter the hour of the day.”
    I am crying happy tears. Thank you!
