Just my thoughts

I just had an idea to blog my thoughts with a week until the baby comes, because I might not have many more thoughts after she gets here.  As the time approaches to have 3 children I think about how much harder that is going to be.  There will be more kids than adults and there will be 3 girls with all the dramatic issues that come with girls.  Poor Marshal will have 4 emotional dramatic ladies under one roof.  

The great thing about having all girls is to watch how close they are as sisters already.  I wish I had that growing up, since I've become an adult I have found that in dear dear friends, who I count among family.  If it weren't for those few "sisters" in my life it would be a lot harder to get through the bad days.  Many people ask my dearest friend and me if we are sisters.  I guess what they say about spouses ending up looking a like applies to best friends as well.  I'm glad my girls will have close friends, who are also family.

I am fearful of how my patience will be with 3 very active dramatic girls.  I have good examples all around me on how to do this and I am grateful for that as well.  I look to many ladies that live near me and think if I can emulate even a little of their patience, love, dedication, peacefulness, then I'm going to be a good mom.  So thanks to all you ladies who are great examples of good moms.  

Yes, I have many more thoughts on what I am going to do better and things I'm going to keep doing to be a good mom and love each of my beautiful girls for their uniqueness, but I'm also going to pray for the help and strength to improve in the areas I need help.  Thanks for reading my rants and thoughts as I sit and contemplate the blessings in my life.

I found your blog through Amy, which is nice that the family in Utah can still keep in touch through blogs.
