12-4-2010 - One year down

My mood while writing this blog: good

Hey there ladies, hope all is good with everyone. Thought I'd give you a little insight into what popped in my head today. One year ago today was when I found out that I was going to be induced the next night. WOW! It was funny when I rememberd, I was just sitting watching TV and laughing at Evan for the face he was making. My sister was making fun of him being a "Little weeble wabble" and right then it was like BAM! I rememberd what today was. I told her and she laughed at me and said welcome to motherhood. lol

Before I started writing this blog I went back to my blogs from a year ago. I must admit I laughed at myself. Some of them were funny to me. I don't think I was ever scared of becoming a mom. I do know it was something that I thought was going to be a challenge, and to my suprise it really hasn't been. I never beleived people before when they would say you motherly instinct will kick in automatically. But my mine did and that's the part that amazes me. I can honestly say I'm a really good mom. Actually I have suprised the hell out of everyone in my life on how good of a mom I am. Everyone has repeatedly told me that they can't get over how great I am with Evan considering "I didn't do babies" before Evan. Before I had him I would make comments about babies and their drool, would not change a diaper at all,hated with a passion the crying or whinning. Actually everyone used to say if I ever had a kid it better come out around 7 or 8 because then it could "take care of themselves". I used to agree with them because I didn't do babies. But now I can't stand it when I have to leave for work or when he has to leave for his dads. I definately LOVE being Evan's mom.....

It's so strange to see my little guy everyday do something new knowing that I grew him, noone else. All the tiny little things the we as mothers get to see these babies do for the first time it's such a miracle...it amazes me sometimes. You ladies know what I'm talking about. Something as simple as finding their fingers & feet,hearing their little voices not making anytype of sense to us,walking on grass or feeling sand between their toes,stoping everything because a stupid commercial comes on the TV. These are things that we as adults completely take for granted, but not these little people. Everything is new and exciting to them. Being a mom has got to be the best thing ever.....I'm convinced of it, well it's the best thing I've ever done.

I hope you all can feel the same as I do about your own child/children. So I give us all a BIG congrats on a job well done.
