People often ask me what has been the biggest adjustment of motherhood. I have to say it's not the complete alteration of my oh-so-planned schedule. It's not the fact that it takes at least an hour longer to prepare to go anywhere. It's not even the lack of sleep (thank goodness for Joe Bean's Frozen Mochas to help with the middle of the day drowsiness). No, when it comes down to it, the biggest life altering change has been the fact that now, no matter where I go or what I do, I have this sense of something else - or rather, someone else. If I'm without you, there is always the thought in the back of my mind that I am missing something. If I am with you, there is always the feeling of making you the priority.
I never saw it coming. I was so focused on making a difference, pursuing my education, making an impact in my job, serving and helping others. And now there is this awareness that no matter what, you are the most important thing. There are days when I literally accomplish nothing other than feeding and caring for you. There are other days where I manage to get some laundry or housework or even job-related work done. Still, I am ever aware of the fact that for such a time as this God has called me to be your mommy and I couldn't be more at peace with that.
Some might think I have become one of those moms - completely obsessed with her child, believing he is the most adorable thing I've ever laid eyes on, and incessantly posting pictures that no one really cares about - HOWEVER - some of you have let it be known that you actually get mad when I don't post new pictures each day. So, feast your eyes on this little punkin'... He really is the cutest (if I do say so myself)!
Fascinated with the lights on the swing.
An impromptu photo shoot. The shirt says it all...
Out cold - curled up in a little ball and sleeping the day away.
More eskimo kisses
Until the next time....
