My mom is a big Oprah fan and subscribes to her magazine "O." She always gives me the magazine after she is done reading it. Oprah has an editorial section called her "A-Ha Moment" where she shares some thought-provoking or life changing moments she's had. I've been having a lot of these moments myself recently, but they are a little bit different than hers-they are what I consider to be my AAH!!! Moments.
These AAH!!! Moments are moments of brief panic due to the realization that life is going to change so very, very much for us in a mere few weeks. You would think that I've come to terms with the fact that we are going to be the (proud) parents of twin girls, but you know what, truthfully I'm still in shock! Justin and I attended my work baby shower the other day and since then people have been asking, "Are you ready for them to get here now?" No, not even close. How is it now November and they are due in December? We don't have their rooms ready, the hospital bag packed, or even the dreaded mini-van purchased. Please don't get me wrong-I am so very excited about having twins. It's just that being a mom to a 17 month old, I know what I'm in for-A LOT of hard work, late nights, and constant supervision of not one, not two, but three children. Justin and I will be very tired, very stressed, and stretched to the limits all while needing to show composure and calmness in our home. That can be a lot to wrap your head around, hence all the AAH moments!
I hope I can do it all: be a loving wife, a wonderful mom, a caring friend, a hard working employee, and a supportive daughter/sister/in-law. I know that's not going to happen at all times though, and I just hope others in my life will grant me grace when I need it.
"Great is the enemy of the good. Sometimes good is good enough." And you know what? I think I'm just fine with that :).
