Finding time to blog again...

Blogs.aren’t they great? I love reading the blogs of my friends and family and whenever I make time to update our blog, I always find it to be a meaningful way to reflect on the latest events in my life. It’s nearly been 4 months since I’ve sat down to update our blog. A lot has happened in the last 4 months…

Becoming a mom has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I don’t even have words to describe how incredible it has been to get to know little Katelyn Amare. During my pregnancy there were just so many nights I would lay awake in bed feeling her move around and I would repeatedly tell Andy that I just can’t wait to meet our little girl. Now, I just can’t stop looking at her sweet face and kissing her chubby cheeks. I thank God everyday for her.

Most of my girl friends became moms before I did. I have learned so much from each of them as I have watched them transition into the role and processed the experience of parenting with them. I’ve read a few parenting books and have done my fair share of babysitting…but nothing could have fully prepared me for the experience of having a child of my own. I’ve been surprised by the way it has consumed me and have been humbled by the difficulty I’ve had with aspects of caring for Katelyn. I’ve been blown away by the strong attachment I feel towards her and the deep love I instantly had for her. She is constantly on my mind…and I’ve had to pray against constantly worrying about her. I’ve been told many times, by other moms, to cherish each moment because it goes fast. I’ve been trying to soak it all in because I can hardly believe how much Katelyn has grown since her birth.
