Mommyhood

One of my favorites from his newborn pictures

"Having a baby changes everything". I have heard this a million times but not until I had my son did I realize how true this is.  The moment my son was born my world changed.... I became a different person, a mother. That may sound cheesy but there's no other way to describe it.  I had a c-section so I didn't get to be the first to hold him ...and everybody else in the room got to see him before I did. I did get to hear him though....and hearing that sweet little cry and knowing that he was okay was the best sound in the world. At this moment my role in life changed.

My job is now to make sure that baby is always safe and happy and to be the best mommy in the world.  As soon as I had Brody, not only did his life become the most precious thing in the world to me but my life became a million times more important because I have to make sure I'm always here for him. I remember lying in the hospital bed with him the night we had him and all he did was look up at me and I started crying, I remember just thinking what a little miracle he is and how happy I was that he was finally here. Absolutely nothing in the world compares with becoming a mother- this is without a doubt the best life has to offer and I feel so blessed that God chose me to be this sweet boy's mommy.
