My sister, the rockstar.

Being a mom is tough! Okay, okay, so not that I would know personally.  But, I did spend the last three days playing "aunt mom" for my nephew Canaan while my sister is on bed rest, and I have to give all the moms out there SO much props.  I'm not really sure how they find the energy each and every day to do what they have to do for others - its actually mind boggling!  My sister is such an amazing mother.  From her first pregnancy, when she was on bed rest at (I think) 21 weeks, she was so good about doing what she needed to do with Canaan, that she made it to 38 weeks with him - nothing short of a miracle.  Now, in her second pregnancy, she is there again, but its been more than it was in the first pregnancy.  My sister is a (freaking) rock star!  There is really no other way to put it.  You may see a woman laying in a bed, but I see a woman who is giving up four months of her life so that her child can have the best chance in their start in this world.  Would she like to get up and go to the grocery store? Yes.  Would she like to play with her stinkin' cute baby? Yes.  Are there many other things she would like to be doing right now?  Most certainly!  She doesn't complain, and has resolved to be positive through this challenging time for her and her family.  Oh, and can I say how awesome her husband has been?  He works long shifts, and comes home, and he's being Mr. Mom, taking care of his family's needs.  I know that is "what you are supposed to do,"  but I know it is SO much easier to sit back and say that, than it is to live it out.  As you can tell, I am just overwhelmed by how amazing my sister, her husband, and my nephew are.  It blows my socks off, and brings tears to my eyes.  Little baby Ezra, you are one lucky little dude!
So what makes it all worth it?  I know what does...
