Growing

Can you believe how much change happens in six weeks?! I know I've been talking a lot about time flying by lately, but I mean look at this... He's completely different!! Within six weeks he became a chub, learned to follow us with his eyes, turn towards us when he hears our voices, SMILE, focus on his toys (on his playmat), make more happy noises (his coo's are my favorite. he's talking up a storm now), sleep through the night (in baby terms 5-6 hrs & this was at about 6.5 weeks), he discovered his tongue & constantly plays with it, & I'm sure there's plenty more... 

I can't really explain it, but as he's growing and changing, so am I! Every day that goes by I fall in love with him more and more & my heart grows, my spirit is softened, and I'm filled with joy! I can now say I know what it feels like to be doing what I'm made to do! I truly believe God designed me and wired me to 'be a mom'! And what peace that brings me! For so long I wondered what I was suppose to be doing & what career path I was suppose to take but could never quite figure it out or find my niche. It was so exhausting constantly comparing myself to others and wondering why I wasn't talented. But, now I know, God took me down a different path to prepare me & my heart for my journey through motherhood. And now on this journey I have complete peace and contentment! I can't say I'm always the best mom or will always know what to do, but I can say I know God is with me and full of wisdom & guidance. And I can't wait to see where He takes me & how he will continue to guide & change me throughout this journey!
