Ok, so the name of my blog "... Then comes chaos is a baby carriage" I feel describes life perfectly. Well, my life at least.
First comes love. Faith, hope and love are the good things He gave us, and the greatest is love. Love is patient, love is kind. You know, that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside. Well, my heart went all mushy and what not on September 30th, 2006 when I started dating my now husband. Before you know it we were living together, engaged and then married.
Then comes marriage. As someone once told me, getting married is more than a shiny ring and a pretty dress. I cannot even begin to tell you how much truth is behind that (the shiny ring is just a bonus). I married my love on June 18th, 2010. Yep, almost one whole year and we still haven't killed each other! Not too long after we took this play yard song step came the baby carriage.
July 26th was the day I spent the most money at CVS ever known to man kind. Eight (yes, eight) pregnancy tests later I found out that I was, for sure, pregnant. August 23rd was our first prenatal visit and there they were - two sacks, two heart beats, two bundles of chaos... I mean joy. September 21st we discovered the loss of our baby B. November 2nd we found out we were blessed with a daughter. Fast forward to April 1st and after 17 hours of easy labor and 5 minutes of pushing she was finally here. All 6 pounds 5oz 19 inches of cuteness we call Aubrey has arrived into the world and has forever changed my life.
Now onto the chaos. Yes, I might have been a day care teacher for seven years with the last year being only with infants but no one prepared me for the newborn stage. The stage where you are delirious from exhaustion but you don't want to sleep, you just want to stare at this miracle you've made. The stage where no matter how much crap you bought, how many books you've read or how much experience you think you have you are still flying by the seat of your pants. I thank God every day for giving me such a great baby and only He knows how she's survived 10 weeks with me so far.
I am so blessed in so many different ways. Not only do I have an amazing daughter but I have the opportunity to stay home and watch her grow and learn first hand. Poor child has to put up with me 24/7 and having the camera shoved in her face at every moment she does something spectacular. And my standards for considering something spectacular are pretty low.
Feel free to follow me on this crazy journey that I call my life :)
