So we're six months into our adventure as parents and I don't think we have messed Wyatt up thus far! He is growing and learning new things everyday! I can't believe it was just a short six months ago he was born! Time flys when you're having fun.
I've learned a lot about motherhood. First of all, I feel very blessed to be a mom. I know it is the mind frame of a lot of people that I or you are "just a mom" which I think is such a degrading statement! Being a mother is one of the greatest missions we are able to serve in a women! We are influencing nations as mothers! Its awesome!
I remember back in the first year Josh and I were married everyone saying "wait to have kids" and usually the people saying them and three to five children themselves. That was also followed by "aww you're still in your honeymoon stage, enjoy it while it lasts." (which really ruffled my feathers but that's another topic for another day!) This was to annoying! They made is sound like having children was a burden. This bugged me because the Lord wants us to be parents and raise families. Often times I wanted to ask those people, which one of your children would you send back?
Don't get me wrong I only have one child and I realize the great sacrifice that I have made. It's not easy. But I never want to feel he wasn't worth it or make him feel that he wasn't worth it.
And then after you have a kid everyone says "enjoy them while they're young, they grow so fast." How about this. Enjoy every day, or every phase of life you pass through and then have no regrets.
Sorry this is more of a rant then an update but I just wanted all the young married couples to know that kids don't ruin your life they just change it but it's all worth it!
