Reasurrance

 Sophie and Oliver have both been super clingy to Wes and I. They know that our lives are going to change dramatically in the next few weeks and have been wanting to spend every minute of the day by our sides. 

They usually go to bed no problem but have been staying up later and later than usual. One of them usually ends up in our bed with us in the middle of the night. There have been a few restless nights as we try to reassure them both that everything is okay and we are still here for them.

Although having them want to constantly be by my side is exhausting, I'm grateful as well. That these two sweet little ones want to be with me and know that they are loved. Really that is my hope as a parent. That they know I will always be there when they need me and that I love them dearly. Motherhood is my role, it's what God gave me time for. I just hope and pray that I can remember that on those days when the hours creep by at a slow pace and the day drags on. These sweet spirits were sent to me on purpose and it is my responsibility to love and nurture them.
