I became a mother last night...

So I am sure some of you just read the title and thought Umm, Olivia you became a mother in April last year when you took that test to say you were pregnant or even in December when those two adorable boys were born.  And sure you are correct in the fact that yes technically that is when I became a mother however, this morning at 3 when I was awake rocking a baby that had been awake off and on since 11 because he is sick and so snotty he cant breath and wants his pacifier to sleep but can't breath if he has his pacifier.  He kept tossing and turning covering me in snot no matter how many times I used the Nose Frida to suck his nose dry I thought this is love, this is what being a mother is really about.  Loving your child so much that you just want them to feel better and not suffer is all you care about dispite that hands down this and last night are the worst two nights since bringing these boys home, even worse than the every three hour feeding nights by far.

Now I sit here sipping my second cup of coffee of the morning wishing that I had actually gotten a decent nights sleep but knowing that these babies are everything and hoping that tonight they sleep so I can sleep because mommy never goes off duty!  The bad thing is my throat is now scratchie and I have a runny nose.  Oh don't we love when they share!

Until next time when I am feeling better and have slept more!
