Most of the time daydreams dont come true. But I can tell you mine did. I love being a mother. It really has been the craziest most amazing three months and one day of my life. I love just looking into Jacksons face, seeing him smile when he sleeps. the way he snores just like his dad. When he gets grumpy he flails his arms, and when hes happy and excited me wiggles his arms and feet. The way his toes curl most of the time. the way he laughs is one of the most precious sounds I have ever heard. I love everything about him and about being a mother. It is so much more then I could of asked for.
I have learned so much about myself because of him. I am a stronger person. Who knew you could wake up every four hours or so every night and function just fine during the day. Who knew your hearing doubles as they sleep, or that you can hear your babies cry and be able to pick it out from other babies. Who knew you could cry at a drop of a hat because the love you have for him overflows on a daily basis. Who knew you could love the man that brought him to you so much more than you already do. Who knew that even though he has only been on earth for three months, you are sad for the day he will inevitably leaves for college or a mission.
All those times you wanted this or that month to go by faster, and now all I want is to slow down time and not let him grow up.
I have been given the greatest blessing and calling anybody can be given. I am a mother and I would not want to change that for anything, not any amount of money in the world. I love my son, and all that he has given to me.

Such beautiful words that can only come from a mother. Yes motherhood is the greatest calling there is. There is joy, happiness, sadness, anger, love and so many more emotions involved in raising our children but they are the greatest gift from our Heavenly Father and we must take good care of them. I am grateful that our grandson has come to such wonderful parents. Love you both. And kiss & hug my grandson for me.
