I walk past this empty room with a empty crib in it multiple times a day.
Everytime, I imagine that in just a few months there is going to be a baby in that crib.
I think of how our lives are going to be different quite often. Our family of just two will no longer exist, and how much fun it is going to be. People tell us lots of different things about being parents. That it is hard, your life will no longer be the same. Sleepless nights, crying babies, no more doing what you please, when you please. Oddly enough, people seem to keep warning us.
But I look at my families life, my sister, and my in laws lives, and maybe how different things are when you have kids. But it is a different I know all of them would do all over again, a million times.
Despite how hard being a parent may be sometimes, it is something I have looked forward to my entire life, and something I know is going to bring us so much happiness throughout our lives. I can not wait to be a mom, and even more so, I can not wait for Jordan to be a dad. I'm excited for the funny times we have ahead of us in this little home of ours.
I can't wait for our little family of three.
I remember being warned about how hard the first year of marriage would be, and I thought it was wonderful. I also remember how many warnings we got about sleep and how hard it would be to have a baby - and it's been wonderful! There's nothing like the joy that a new baby brings!! Eat it alllll up - I'm with you - it's just so exciting!!
ReplyDeleteOh being a mother is the best thing in the world. I literally Can't remember the last time I slept through the night. But you don't even care. I would take not sleeping and crying babies over anything in this world. You will LOVE every bit of it even the hard stuff. And you will be the cutest mommy.
