I don't really know what I expected when I decided to enter the crazy world of being a mom. I just know that I wanted to be a mom so I could love and give myself to another little person - to watch them grow and help them through the maze that is this wonderful life. I don't think I was expecting my heart to grow so much when we brought this amazing little bear into our lives.
The last year of my life has gone by way too fast. It's been full of ups and downs and lots and lots of changes. We're entering into uncharted territory: toddlerhood. It's bittersweet, but I'm trying to let it be more sweet than it is bitter. He is so smart and I love watching him learn something new every day. I'm just hoping I'm ready for the challenges that will come with being the mom of a toddler, but like everything else we're just going to roll with it as it comes.
Every day is an adventure when you're a parent, and having a sense of humour
Looking back, the number one thing that has changed is that I'm almost always at least a little bit tired. That's not to say I always feel like crap, but I will find myself yawning at least a couple times by around three o'clock. It's not really a bad tired. Most of the time it's just life-fatigue from being up or out and doing things together. Some days it's a not-so-great kind of tired where you just want to jump under a bus, but those days don't matter as much as the rest of the awesome, great, and fun days.
We've made a lot of memories this past year. I've taken a lot of photos and I've learned a lot about myself, my relationship and what truly matters. Looking ahead at what lies before us I see nothing but good things happening to my family. The best is yet to come.
I love you to the moon, little bear. Keep growing wild. <3
