An "Aha" Moment...

So, no pictures to share today... just a moment for me to let out some Adreyness that's backing up in me and must be released so I can take more of him in. Adrey is napping and I've been sitting here practicing my blog headers (I think I might be on the verge of obsessed)! While doing it I found myself staring at one of his pictures and I was all of a sudden flooded with emotion. It came out of nowhere and I found myself thinking back about before Adrey was born.... How much more free time I had, how much more often I was able to work out, how much more uninterrupted sleep I got, how much less worry I felt... and at that same time I realized how much MORE happy I am now. I'm getting teary just typing this. I don't miss any of those things. My life is so much more complete now. I was meant to be a Mom, and specifically a Mom to Adrey. The gratitude felt, and the rewards of being a mom can't justly be put into words. You have to experience Motherhood to understand the wonderful and beautiful reality of it. It's the best thing I've ever experienced and I can't wait to see all the wonderful things I have yet to experience.
I'm ready.
Bring it.

So much!! I've never been busier, but never been happier! I used to love my "me-time", but now all I want is "Lily-time" - there's nothing like it!
