Mommy and Raegan

I always look terrible in pictures, but I do want my kids to know that I did exist in their lives so every now and then I have a picture taken with me in it. So here I am with my sweet baby girl at the hospital only two days after she was born. My heart is so full to have been given the opportunity to be this sweet angels Mommy. I go through so much to have a baby, it takes everything out of me and the recovery is so long and hard for me. The pain that my body goes through to have a c-section is just too much sometimes. I am always so afraid!! But in the end to hold that sweet baby is all worth it, it’s worth everything to have another special spirit in our home. I laid there on the operating room table and waited to hear the cry of Raegan and when I heard it all the pain went away. I love to hear that first cry and a calming feeling instantly comes over me. When I got to hold Raegan for the first time it was the best feeling in the world, you just can’t come any closer to heaven than in that moment. I feel Heavenly Father so close to me through my deliveries and I know he is right there and I am watched over. I can’t even describe how I feel being the Mom to 5 children, it is a wonderful feeling. I feel so blessed and so loved! My world has changed by adding another child, life is very busy, but I would not change it for the world. I love this sweet baby so much and I could sit and hold and love on her all day long. Her skin is so soft and she smells so brand new, there is just everything to love about her. I am grateful that I am her Mommy!!

Raegan loves to lay on my chest just like this!! She is so snuggly I love it!!
