When you hold me, I can see this is exactly where I want to be...

I have found that there are some songs that can totally melt me. 

Have a listen to this song.... 

Sally Seltmann- "Harmony to my heartbeat"  

This morning Noah and I woke up at our usual time of 5am, Noah was super happy. Smiling, giggling
and cooing. As I listened to this song I started to cry realising how truly blessed we are to be the parents of such a wonderful baby boy.

This week was an incredibly sad time for some of our friends. One of my beautiful friends babies grew his wings far too early at 29 weeks gestation. It breaks my heart and now one should ever have to experience that!

There is a story that I found a little while ago and it is so beautiful so I thought I would share. 

What Makes A Mother-

I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today.

I asked, ’What makes a Mother?’ and I know I heard Him say,

A mother has a baby, this we know is true,

But God, can you be a mother when your baby’s not with you?

Yes you can, He replied, with confidence in His voice

I give many women babies, when they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime, others for a day

And some I send to feel your womb, but there’s no need to stay.

I just dont understand this Lord, I want my baby here!

He took a breath and cleared His throat and then I saw a tear,

I wish that I could show you what your child is doing today,

If you could see your child smile with the other children and say.

’We go to earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear,

My mummy loved me oh so much I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a mum who had so much love for me,

I learned my lessons very quickly, my mummy set me free.

I miss my mummy oh so much, but I visit her each day.

When she goes to sleep, on her pillow’s where I lay,

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear,

Mummy don’t be sad today, I’m your baby and I’m here’.

So you see, my dear sweet one, your children are ok,

Your babies are here in my home, and this is where they’ll stay.

They’ll wait for you with me, until your lesson’s through,

And on the day I call you home they’ll be at the gates for you.

So now you know what makes a mother.

It’s the feeling in your heart,

Its the love you had so much of, right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realise until their time is done,

Remember all the love you have,

And you ARE a special mum!

It is definitely an eye opener when tragedy hits so close to home, makes you hold your family a whole lot tighter and realise how truly blessed we all are. 

Noah and I decided to pop down to Brisbane for Easter as Andrew is working the weekend. The flight was harder than the previous flights i've done with Noah purely because he slept the whole drive to the airport but he still did great and the air hostesses were wonderful. Kept coming and talking to him and cooing :) I love this age! Strangers love that they can make him smile so they all try. When he smiles everyone gets excited. 
I am very grateful that he is good on planes and just travelling in general. It's great to be able to pop down to Brisbane for the weekend. We hadn't told Emmily that we were coming to visit so when we arrived at Mums they told her to unpack the car :D SURPRISE :D It was so good to surprise her! We had been skyping every day while she is on holidays, it was so hard to keep the secret!

I love my family- extended family and all- so much! My cousin Tilly has her 21st Birthday today *woohoo* celebrating with an Alice in wonderland themed party tonight. And my Aunty Coralie is travelling to Vanuatu with her daughter (my cousin) Annie on a mission trip for 9 weeks! I hope they have safe travels and enjoy their time over there!

Hmm I can't think of any other news?! 

We are still not into our new house but hopefully soon!!!! The realestate said on Tuesday 2-3 weeks and when we drove past yesterday it was being painted and airconditioners are in. Not long to go now!

I will do a photo dump on another post :D
Happy Easter Everyone!
