Blessed!

Today I was just looking through some photos and I came across this one taken at a wedding reception a couple weeks after Jett was born. I can't believe that he used to be so tiny! He sure is growing up. When I look at this picture a flood of memories come back of what it was like to be brand new parents. What an adjustment. It feels like it was just yesterday and at the same time it feels like it was years ago. This little boy has definitely changed our lives. It was rough at first...you can definitely see how tired we both look in this pic...but Jett is the biggest blessing in our lives. His smile melts my heart everytime I see it. There is nothing I love more than waking up on a saturday morning and all three of us get to snuggle (even though Jett isn't much of a cuddler).

Sure life isn't as easy and carefree with a baby now (I can't imagine having more than one!) but I think it has changed me for the better. There is no room to be selfish. Todd has always been one of the most unselfish people I know but I have really had to make an effort to put my needs and wants aside and give my full attention to this little boy. I have to admit that it hasn't been so easy for me! When I look at this picture I get so emotional. I think the first couple weeks of Jetts life were some of the hardest of mine. But I'm so glad that I have so many people that love me and took care of me and Jett during that time. It is a good reminder to me that God really does watch out for His children. Jett is such a good boy! He is at the perfect stage right now and I don't want him to grow anymore. Gosh, I love my family so much. Life is good.
