Motherhood

I realized I have not written a post since Isabeau was born more than 8 months ago. Her birth was fast, furious, and surprising. I went into labor at home 4 days before my due date and had an unplanned c-section after 2.5 hours of pushing and no progress. But she was born healthy and perfect at 8lbs 10oz and 21" long. She has filled our lives with so much love. I never knew my heart was capable of such love for someone else. God definitely answered our prayers with her. Two years ago I wasn't even sure I'd ever have a baby. My body just wasn't cooperating and couldn't hold on to a pregnancy. Now my miracle baby is here. And although motherhood has been quite the challenge, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
