Giana recently learned how to give hugs. It is literally THE BEST thing in the world. She reaches her arms around me (as far as they go), lays her head down on my chest and says “awww” with me. Sometimes, she hugs me over and over and over.

I don’t have words to express how much I love being a mother. I cannot describe how much I love being Giana’s mom.

I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. (2 Cor. 2:15a)

I keep thinking of myself a year ago, when I was starting my ninth month of pregnancy. I didn’t know how I would do with this whole “mom” thing. But she makes it easy. My little girl is so amazing!
