I am always so amazed at things that grow.  I look at my sweet little baby, at how big she’s gotten and to think that a year and a half ago she was just a few little cels, just blows my mind.  life is amazing!  How can she be so big already?

Also, lanting seeds and seeing them sprout into green little plants that eventually produce flowers or vegetables, amazes me.  How does it work?  I am surprised and pleased every time I get something to sprout.  I am in awe all the time thinking about things that grow.

Pregnancy is amazing to me as well.  (No, I’m not, thanks for asking).  Just when you think your body can’t change anymore, it grows in some unexpected (and not always welcome) way.  It didn’t make me taller, for example, but it did make me wider and a little more ample in parts.  I could lose some weight to try and change my shape, but my ribcage and my hips will never be the same again.   Why?  Because even though I didn’t think it possible, I grew.

I was pretty sure I was done growing a long time ago.  My height stagnated when I was about 13 and today I stand at a proud 5′1", though I have been accused by some as having midget legs.  But my sweet son today gave me a compliment that I will likely never hear again, he said to me:

"Mommy, you’re so TALL."

Sweet child.   I guess to him I am.  The unfortunate part?  Its very possible that he himself will only ever hear similar compliments from his own children.

Who knows though?  He still has a lot of growing left in him.  And that amazes me.
