 quiet falls over the house. These are the few moments I get to sit with the afternoon light streaming through the window and rock my little boy to sleep.  As we sit there I look into his sweet, blue eyes and watch them slowly close as sleep comes over him and it's then I realize the beauty of becoming a mother...

 You always get to be one.  It isn't like being a child or a teenager or a twenty something- those are phases.  They are moments in life that come and go, but to be a mother, to become that woman who holds their tiny newborn in her arms and who watches that newborn grow into a unique individual.  To become that woman who knows the feeling of loving another being with every cell in her body- the beautiful thing about that is it never ends. No matter what happens in life. Becoming a mother is a journey that always will continue.  Isn't that amazing?
