My "Mom" moment

This past week Carley had an upset stomach for a couple of days. It was so sad to see a little newborn not feeling good. She is so precious and it kills to see her hurting and sad and not be able to help her. She was pretty fussy on Wed. And Thurs. And it was really hard and super sad. All she wanted was to be held. She couldn't close enough to me. The part that really hit me was that she wanted me. Just like I want my mom when I don't feel good or I want my mom to tell me it all going to be okay, Carley wanted me. I realized that I am her mom and she knows that. You guys in cyberland know my quirks, my strengths, and my weaknesses. You know what I struggle with and what gifts I have. You know my personality. Carley sees none of that. She knows I am her mom and that is enough to make her feel somewhat comforted. I tell ya, clean slates can really inspire you to try and be a better person and really pray that your faults are not passed on to the next generation. It was great to be seen with a clean slate and to be loved by MY daughter, this precious little girl with a mohawk.
