I'm a mother of three, five and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best.
I believe in breastfeeding, natural childbirthing, cloth-diapering, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and attachment parenting.
Compared to the bottle-feeding, Pampers-wearing, crib-sleeping, day-caring world around me, I thought maybe that qualified me as a Natural Mommy.
Your first runny nose.
Your first red-rimmed eyes.
Your first real fever.
Your first sleepless night.
Your first little sneezes,
and sniffles,
and coughs.
I hold you close.
I sing to you softly.
I share in your pain,
your discomfort,
your ills.
I want you to know
not only in good times
but also in need,
desperation,
and want;
I will be here.
I will love you.
I will never give up.
