happy birthday

My baby is 3 months old?! Everyone always told me when I was pregnant that time with your babies flies by, but I never took them literally-yikes they were right!

Nothing and Nobody could have ever prepared me for motherhood. No one told me there was a chance you would not be taking your baby home from the hospital until 10 days had passed, no one told me breast feeding doesn't work for everyone, no one told me the first time your baby smiles at you brings a rush of tears down your face, no one told me how many hours a day you spend making goofy faces & noises just to see one more smile and then realize at 4pm you haven't yet showered, but you are totally okay with that, no one told me how much I would love to watch my husband and my son hang out together, and no one could have told me I would be so full of joy & gratitude to be able to stay at home & watch my little one grow.

Yes, there are long sleepless nights, spit-up incidents you would rather forget, and poo in places you wouldn't have thought possible, but they outweigh sleeping in and eating out every time.

In years prior when I imagined my life as a mother nothing even came close to the reality I live each day. It is such a blessing to have Levi in our lives and the fullness he has added to our family was something unexpected.

Happy Birthday Levi~Mama loves you!!
