wyatt -- 20 months

Today it's been 20 months since this little boy was placed in his daddy's arms in the OR.  

It's been 20 months since I became a mother of three.  

It's been 20 months since my little boys became BIG brothers.

 Being a mother of three has good, really good, days. And then there are days when I feel it. sigh.  Days where I feel the needs of these three boys and I feel inadequate. Sometimes all day long, I go back and forth and back and forth among them.  Change Wyatt, wipe Jack, help Logan... Scold Wyatt, read to Logan, listen to Jack...  Over and over I meet one need, only to be confronted by another.

But I am doing it. And it's going really well.  I am so grateful.

This time last year I had been in Marshall for a month.

I was still unpacking. I was still settling. I was still in shock.

And the year before that, I was suffering as a working mom (more on that tomorrow) and praying daily that the Lord would find a way, make a way, for me to be home.

And so, in this month of love, I am looking back on my journey to NOW, 

and I am loving every step along the way.

As we approach his second birthday, I am getting more excited about getting to know him. 

I can't wait to hear more of his little voice expressing who he is.
