“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”

~Elizabeth Stone

I read this quote today. It was in my little Mary Engelbreit planner. I LOVE planners, and this is the planner of all planners. It came to me in the mail from my Mom one day for no reason at all (other than I'm her favorite!) I LOVE mail. Almost as much as I love planners. This one has spaces big enough for me to write my "to-do" list in each day (because every procrastinator who is also slightly OCD must re-write her "to-do" list over each day) AND beautiful pictures and quotes throughout. OK, anyway, back to the point of the story.

When we picked Jackson up tonight, my heart actually lept with joy to see his reaction to me standing at the door. He was overjoyed to see me. I savor these moments because I know it won't always be this way! Even though it feels like a piece of me is gone when I'm not with him, I'm so thankful for the times we have apart just so we can reunite again!

OH, Jackson you are my little heart.
You are so full of life and love and excitement.
There is never a dull moment with you.
Between the fun, silliness, the messes, the "Uh-Oh" game & getting into things,
I hope you see how much I love you.

You really are my little heart walking (Ok, crawling) around outside my body.
And I'm so glad God chose me to be your Mom.
