A Mother's Heart

A wise friend told me, and I paraphrase, "I imagine the heart has many rooms. Hopefully this baby will fill one of those rooms." I know I didn't get it right, but one of those rooms in my heart has been filled.

A wounded heart has many empty rooms and I am sure it takes many years, moments, and memories for them to be occupied. I am sure they will never all be full, but it helps to have one more room filled.

Isabella has filled one of those rooms for me. She just melts into my arms. She actually doesn't look a lick like my other children. She looks more like my husband's family and up until this point, my children have taken to looking like my side of the family.

She is adorable with her button nose, chubby cheeks, tons of hair, and I have decided that bracelets aren't that annoying when they are custom made :). There has been much love and joy that has entered into our home. I am grateful. I am grateful to have my arms full again.
