There aren't words to describe the feelings a mother has when they first place your baby in your arms. It's overwelming, it's joyful, it's tearful. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a mom again. Before we had Marshall I had some serious concerns. The first was that something would go wrong, and the second was that I wouldn't love him as much as I love Shep. I have learned my lesson concerning both things. I learned that some things are out of our control, no matter how much we worry about them. But, if we turn that concern over to the Lord we can feel peace. It doesn't mean everything will turn out how we want it all the time, tragedy does happen. It just means we can feel better and have peace in our life. Once I prayed my concerns to my Heavenly Father I felt like I turned it over to him and I literally felt a burden lift. The second thing I've learned is that love's capacity is evergrowing. Sure, I don't love Marshall the same as I love Shep, I love him differently. My love for him is young with experience, but deep with concern and charity. It is unconditional. And it will continue to grow as we experience life together.
