Wow how time has flown by and Jailyn is just so amazing to watch.......Ever had one of those turning point moments where the world stands still for a moment. So many times it happens while watching Jailyn and feeling the love, joy and happiness as the world stands still. I have been on my own with Mike traveling for a week for pleasure and work and staying busy with family and friends. However I have been in awe of Jailyn and thoroughly have enjoyed our time just the two of us together. I stop to marvel at Jailyn so many times and look at me and realize I am a mom after 8 long years and the 5 1/2 yr wait for Jailyn (which was so worth the wait). I am so blessed to be Jailyn's mommy. It has really sunk in I am finally a mom and yes it has been 14 weeks and the new reality has emotionally taken time and setting in and loving it. Getting her and transitioning and just being in survival mode was the norm for a while and it is living life now and getting into a routine and taking in every moment. Mike and I have had big changes and challenges making the change as our lives are completely different. We are now able to live (learning how to live again) and not be on hold and finding our way as new parents and our next adventure of building a house..... We are doing a great job as parents as it is shown all over Jailyn's face. She is so happy and to think we were picked to be her mom and dad. WOW it still blows my mind!!!! We serve an awesome God whose timing was so perfect.
Going back to work part time and finding the balance was such a challenge and then I had to really look at my priorities and has to be totally Mike and Jailyn and not so much work anymore. When you have been a workaholic as a survival mechanism it is like a drug withdrawal.....but letting go more and more and liking the balance. Mike and I need more time together and feel we will be able to take more time now for some date nights.....as she is thriving and does very well with family and her care giver watching her in the home. Mike and I celebrate our 10th anniversary Oct 7 and looking forward to some time alone with him just the two of us. I love him so much and so very proud of him. He is a wonderful man full of love and very talented and is celebrating 25 years with Quaker. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband who provides for us and I love so much and get to share life with.... More blessings I am so thankful for......
You know, YOU have to celebrate life and live in the present moment as if it was the last. Live fully present, love deeply, reach for your hopes and dreams to make them a reality, enjoy the journey, and love God with all your heart and share His love. Because life is so fleeting and in a blink of an eye can change.
See our beautiful happy baby girl pictures in her new comfy chair and playing at home in her cute new fall outfit. I love shopping and buying all the cutest little outfits for Jailyn. I love being a Wife, MOM and being ME!!!!
Just so blessed beyond my wildest dreams!!!!
