Babies

 I remember walking around Downtown Disney in my 20's and looking at the Ann Gedees store. She took pictures of babies in the cutest way. Every picture made you think how cute babies are and how fun it would be to have one. Maybe that's why I was excited to have a family. But finding a worthy guy is not easy. So it was a long journey to find "the one." A worthy man that I could honor and who would be the head of my home. Finally I found him, and he is the greatest guy ever. :) I love you Zach! 

Why are babies worth it? The biggest reason is it is a little copy of you. It is so exciting to see a fresh new replica of you. A pure and untarnished new life. A fresh start. It is like you reincarnated yourself into this tiny new person. You hope they will carry the torch for you. That they will go help the world after you get too tired. There is so much hope that you have for them. You hope their life will be so much easier then yours. You hope they will never get hurt or be sad. You try to make their life as happy as it can be. 

Then someday they leave. But at least you got to cherish them for awhile. At least you got to really love another person from your whole heart for a season. 

You never sacrifice for a person as much as for your baby. Newborns are like army training for moms. No matter how you feel, you have to meet all their needs. You are their only helper. They need you for a lot. It is tiring but also fun to be needed that much. You feel honored to take on such a hard task. It is nice to get help from family, but if you care for them all alone, later on you can say with pride, "I did all that all myself. Good job super mom!" 

There is nothing more exhilarating and more fun then caring for your little baby. Nothing comes close to how great it is. The delivery is hard but it is worth it. No pain, no gain right? Please pray my next labor will have very little pain. Thanks all :)

May God bless all the fellow moms out there. Keep up the great work. You can do it! 😃
