The Good Ole Days.

Who knew such a tiny human could teach me so much about life? I heard over and over to just enjoy my life and not try to rush it. My parents told me that in my teenage years, my friends told me that in my early marriage, total strangers told me that in my pregnancy, & now I'm telling myself that in this new phase of my life.

Looking back, I have had periods of mourning for the loss of each season of my life as I have begun a new one. There were times in early marriage that I missed my mom (& of course those moments still come, more now that I have my little), I had times in my pregnancy that I missed being just us, & I've had moments when I've totally missed that huge belly (that I was SO eager to get rid of). Now I'm realizing that it's more important than ever to focus on enjoying the moments that are so special.

Well, ladies & gents, here I am to say: don't be so eager to get out of your current situation that you forget to enjoy it. Especially moments (even the frustrating ones) with these precious, tiny souls. Easier said than done, I know, but just try really hard. 

There's my tidbit of mom wisdom for the day. I totally think God grants you an extra boost of wisdom during parenthood-- trust me, you really need it. Ha.

There really will be a birth story post, I promise.
