the precious gift .........................  |
| Serena still kicking away at 6 months |
In my last few posts i have mentioned how life has changed but i have not really introduced you to the main reason why my life has changed so much. In 2 short words i can sum up what this change really is "Gods gift". On the 24 October 2011 my daughter Serena Esme Van Niekerk was born. She was a little 3.2 kg, 52cm bundle of joy.

It is not something anyone can ever explain to you, believe me many have tried. The way you feel when you first hold that little angel in your arms, is one you will remember so vividly for the rest of your life. This is because nothing in life will ever feel the same. Everything seems to shift and the things we believed were important, no longer seem to have any relevance. Suddenly life seems to have real meaning, you have a purpose, a reason for being alive. There is this little person who looks at you with so much love, trust and admiration, your heart just melts and you will find yourself saying "why did i wait this long" (trust me your gonna say it!)

But the sad truth is that before your very eyes they grow faster than weeds. My little one turns 6 months today and i feel like i have missed out on so much. I guess as a mom your doomed to feel guilty for the rest of your life. Did i spend enough time with her, did i tell her i love her enough............ i think you get the idea. But that is no way to live so instead of thinking about what i might not have done i just.....................DO !!!
I am lucky enough to have a husband who works really hard, so that i can stay at home and be a mom. Because there is nothing i would rather do, i want to be with Serena every moment of everyday. So thank babes for being such an amazing man. I love you so much
A new little hand for us to hold
her love is grand, precious as gold.
A wonderful gift, so precious and sweet.
Our hearts are full, our lives complete.
So no matter how many sleepless night you have. No matter how much your sitting room resembles a kids play pen and even though every item of clothing you owe has a stain from milk or ..................... ;). I can tell you that there is nothing better in the world than having children. If i get my way ill be having tons more and might not sleep for the next 10 year, but i am the happiest mom alive.
She's a little bit of sunshine,
She's a smile to light your days,
She will steal your heart and
keep it with her warm endearing ways,
She's your precious little daughter,
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill your years with laughter
and your lives with lots of love
Please feel free to leave a comment, i would love to hear stories about how your little angels changed your lives.
Thanks for reading
Hugs
