I am forever blessed by the changes my husband and sweet baby boy have inspired me to make. They continue to inspire me to become best me I can be. I surprise myself daily by the patience I have gained, the things I get excited about, the weird things that make me emotional and the small things I no longer sweat.
Just the other day, while doing my makeup and watching Drayze get in to everything through the reflection of the mirror, I noticed he had sat up on his bum from his belly all by himself! The second I saw this I threw whatever makeup I had in my hands in excitement, grabbed my baby to tell him how proud of him I was, and of course a few happy tears fell from my eyes. This totally caught me off guard. Who would have thought something so simple would excite me so much? The things motherhood will do to you!
Another example of the strange behavior parenthood causes happened a few nights ago. {The following story js a bit graphic. Weak stomachs do not read on} As I was holding Drayze while Zac was talking to him, suddenly baby boy became sick to his stomach resulting in a fountain of vomit. Normally when you're in a person's line of vomit you get out of the way as quickly as possible. Apparently not when you're a parent. Both of our first reaction was to try to catch the vomit in our hands and make sure Drayze was ok. After things settled down, I pointed out to Zac the silly way parenthood makes us act.
Ya know, when I was pregnant with Drayze I remember being absolutely terrified of becoming a mother. I was afraid I wasn't going to have patience, or know what I was doing. Since he has been born most things seem to come naturally. If they don't, we do our best to figure it out. By no means are we perfect parents. Drayze has fallen off the bed twice, I forgot to buckle his car seat one car ride home, and zac has forgotten the diaper when putting on baby's pjs. We may not have it down, but we are getting it. It is an amazing journey to say the least. My biggest blessing.
Parenthood.
Blurry, but I LOVE that look!
When he sat up all by himself!
Getting in to EVERYTHING 24/7
(I complain, but really I love it)
Nothing like it. Seriously, when I think about how much I love these two my heart literally gets heavy.
Sooo sweet! You give me confidence that maybe {one day} I won't be a horrible parent.. maybe it will fall into place for me as it has for you. I love seeing you as a mama.. I can truly see how happy you are :]
