Mommyhood

Braiden is already almost 8 months old! I can't believe how fast time has gone by, I can't believe I was pregnant with this little guy this time last year, it seems like he has always been a part of my life.

It's so crazy to look back on my life with this little stud so far and all the changes that have taken place.

Giving birth to him is kind of a blur to me! I was pushing and pushing--and trying not to fall asleep while pushing--and then suddenly you feel this huge release of pressure, and there is this new little life in front of you! All I could do was stare at him, it was amazing to see him, to see that he was okay and not all deformed like I feared he would be! He was beautiful!!!

What's crazy is it doesn't even
seem like it happened....
it seems like he has always been here!

He has grown up so much too! It started with his first smile, and laugh, saying dada and mama, to rolling over from his stomach to back, then back to front, then sitting by himself, eating solids, to now two cute little teeth poking through and up, rolling EVERYWHERE and getting ready to crawl! It just goes by soooo fast.

And it's been easier than I thought too. It's hard, but not as hard as I thought it would be to get used to! I mean , I have had my struggles, like getting used to not always finishing a T.V show or movie, and not getting to play video games, or just make spur of the moment plans with Chad or friends. I think those were the hardest to get used to. Because I wanted to do what I want, and I couldn't...but Chad could. I'd see Chad get to watch T.V, or play a game, or go do something when I couldn't and I think that's what made it so difficult! But even so, I can't even begin to think of my life without this little guy!
I love him to pieces!
