Well, I contemplated if I wanted to start this blog or not since I love reading them so much but I wasnt sure if I Really wanted to do it. Then I was looking at one of my good friends last night and thought how cool it was that she could look back to 2 years ago and see what her son was doing at that time. So I thought, if not for anything else I could do it to watch and have record of my childrens milestones and cute memories. Speaking of, My kids- Gant is almost 4 yrs old and Reid will be 6 weeks tomorrow. They are so great and I am sure that is what all my posts will be about in the future. Gant is doing some of the funniest things now and I cant wait to share them with you. Now Reid changes everyday----He has started smiling all the time (which makes my heart hurt because I love it so much.) I never realized how much I could actually love someone until them. Of course I love my husband more than anything too but its different. A mothers love. I absolutely love being a mommy to these boys. Its what I was born for- I know that probably sounds silly but that was really my dream in life, not to be a doctor, lawyer, etc....Mine was to be a mommy. So I can say I am living my dream and I am so thankful to God that he allowed me to be a mom. I have such a great Mom, I want to be like her as a mother. She is my role model in so many ways.
Now about the other love in my life.... My husband. First of all if you know my husband then you know why I initially wanted to go out with him. He is by far the MOST handsome guy I have ever seen in my life. No, I am not just saying that because he is married to me-- I really feel that way. You will see in future posts what I am talking about. We were together for 4 years before we got married and now we have been married for 5. We just celebrated our anniversary a week after Reid was born. (and he gave me another diamond wedding band that matched my other one. I guess I bothered him enough about it that he finally gave in - or he was hoping it was going to make me not go through post partum depression again. It worked.)
I cant tell you how happy it makes me watching him with our boys. Just last night he came in the babys room to see us(that is where I am sleeping for the time being since I am breastfeeding) and he knelt down on the side of the bed and was making Reid smile and kissing on him. My heart melts, again. Just knowing how much these boys are loved is a great feeling.
I want to thank God for giving me these wonderful gifts in my life. I thank him atleast once a day for letting me be Gant and now Reid's mommy. (or Mom as Gant called me the other day. I quickly told him not to call me mom that my name was Mommy. Atleast until he is older.)
Sorry for such a long post but I thought I needed to start somewhere. Now if I can just figure out how to make this look better and add some photos. Any help would be appreciated.
