Oh my babies.
What more can I say other than motherhood is the hardest most demanding job title I've ever held.
It's harder than my 8 week internship at the V.A Hospital where I cried in the bathroom every single day.
It's so hard that sometimes I pretend to go to the bathroom, just so I can have a 2 minute break.
It's also THE MOST SATISFYING and rewarding job I've ever held.
It's the job title I fought long and hard for.
There are many moments in the day when I feel like I'm failing in epic proportions.
But there are moments like this... when my heart swells with joy and I can only giggle or cry because it's the most magical moment.
A few weeks ago my dear swiss SIL sent me an email that touched my heart.
Although she was on another continent during my labor and delivery of Ohwee... his little spirit touched her and she knew the very moment he was taking his first breaths.
At 4:35 am Utah time my SIL was overcome by a most beautiful song that describes my journey to become a mother and my babies journey's to our family.
It's Whole Made of Pieces from the We Bought a Zoo Soundtrack
It's a most beautiful song and I can honestly say it perfectly and precisely emulates the very moments leading up to Owen's first moments on this earth outside of my body.
Every time I listen to this song it reminds me of the miracles I've been blessed with.
My family.
We are a "whole" made of "pieces"
To all you mother's who are still awaiting the arrival of your miracle babies...
I have faith that our Father in Heaven knows us perfectly and intimately and His plan is perfect.
The pain and suffering that comes with infertility is real, honest, and raw.
Hold on with everlasting faith that your babies are coming and it's so worth the wait.
And it's OK to hide out on mother's day to avoid the pitty comments. :)
My heart aches for you.
Hold on just a little longer.

Brought tears to my eyes as did your wonderful talk at church today. It certainly has been worth the wait and the pain.
What beautiful babies!
What beautiful babies! Hope you're feeling better.
Hello friend! I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get back on your sweet blog and comment! I loved chasing you down a few months ago and seeing you with 2 of your sweet little ones :) You are totally inspiring to me, and I'm grateful for your words (both on the blog & as we chatted that day). I'm back home in Texas, but would love a chance to reconnect in person sometime! Thank you for being so amazing, I've looked up to you in many ways since I found your blog and continue to stand in awe of you. I feel blessed to have had a chance to reconnect!
