Well, I've been a mom for almost two months. As most of you mom's probably know, it doesn't 100% set in for a while. Sometimes I still feel like I'm just on the never-ending babysitting job. The kids cute, but when are the parents coming back? Well, I think I had a very "mom" moment this weekend and it didn't even involve Baby J.
This weekend our little family of 3 made a trip down to Virginia Beach for Aunt Katie's bridal shower and bachelorette party. I was able to have a wonderful time with the women-folk while James so graciously watched Baby J all day. (that's not my mom moment). Sunday morning we woke up and made it out to Cousin K's soccer game. She had quite a showing on the sidelines to support her team though the tournament.
During the game one of the players hurt her ankle. All the other girls patiently knelt on the floor as the coach ran out the the crying girl in the middle of the field. James' sister Nicole made a comment that she tears up every time one of the kids gets hurt. And noted how it's been like that since Cousin K started playing. Well... I didn't fess up to it then, but I was freaking crying. It seriously broke my heart to see this little 9 year old girl who I don't know and will never meet hurt her ankle. So I guess that's what it's like to be a mom. (And I thought the excessive crying would stop once pregnancy hormones were gone).

Three little boys who seemed to be about 6 or 7 years old played the violins together in church a few weeks ago and I welled up with prideful tears for them. Totally a mom moment. It's a great thing I think. Being a mom makes you connect better with everyone around you somehow.
