Mommy Hood


{3 weeks old}

Where has the time gone? My sweet babe is 18 months old tomorrow. I've spent a good majority of yesterday sifting through old pictures and videos and couldn't help but get tears. 

Motherhood is the craziest thing. The love you have for that little life is something you can never begin to fathom until you are a momma yourself.

Each day is a new adventure with it's own set of challenges. The fears you once had, make way for new fears. You want to show them the world but want to protect them from it as well. 

As I enjoy THIS stage of my sweet girl's life, I pray for wisdom and strength to guide me. 

It's funny how you spend most of your adolescence worrying about your career choice and what path to take. And then one day you are a Momma and everything else becomes obsolete. Life FINALLY makes sense.

THIS Job is what I've been called to do. By far the hardest, yet most rewarding job of them all.

    Agreed.I look at my little Milton and just cry sometimes because I so wish I could freeze time. And yes I spent 7 years changing degrees a million times and finally became a nurse. I was so proud and so excited and once I had Milton it all seemed like nonsence. Now, I wish I could stay at home forever with my beautiful babies

    Lindsay, that is such a precious picture. It goes by so quickly. It seems like yesterday when my girls were babies and now they are 4 and 5.

    Motherhood is the most beautiful vocation. I think most women are called to it in one form or another.
    Beautiful post Ash!

    Being a mother has been one of the most worthwhile experiences in my life - no matter how bad things can get with crying babies or lack of sleep it's always SOOOO worth it! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
