Life Is Short

-
Today is Sunday February 4 2018.  Right now Gabriel is sitting in his bouncer watching a movie and drinking his milk. Today has been an alright day. He cried for like 2 hours this morning and didnt want to take his nap. He still isnt sleeping through the whole night consistantly yet. 
There are days where he is an angel and is just wonderful and doesnt cry or fuss at all. But then there are the days where he cries ALL day long and I just want to pull my hair out and cry! Does it mean im a bad mom on those hard days? No. Babies have bad days; just like us. But for them they dont know how to communicate their frustration to you so they just cry. I mean it could be anything, from a belly ache to even a tiny itch.  Whatever it may be you just have to take deep breathes and tell yourself that everything will be okay. 

What it is Like Being A Mother:
Being a Mother is stressful! But it is also the best gift ever. I never knew that being a mom would be so rewarding. Gabriel makes me so proud. He puts a smile on my face all the time. he makes me laugh. He is almost crawling now. He has a tooth coming in. He said poppa the other day. He is growing up everyday and my heart rejoices and is also so sad because i dont want him to grow up so fast. One day there will be a last time for everything. One day there will be the last crawling, there will be a last day of baby talk, a last day of baby snuggles. So I tell myself everyday- enjoy these moments while they last. 
There are days where I am so stressed I just dont even know what to do. I dont know if I should cry or laugh or scream. I get annoyed at the tiniest of things. I lose my cool on my husband, on my friends and even on myself. I think that I might not be a good mother or that im doing something wrong. I wonder if I ever should have become a mother. But then I look at my son and he does something that makes me smile and then I think "I dont want this to change. I am so happy I have a son. He is a little of his daddy and a little on me and a little of himself. He is a gift from God. God chose me to be his mom." 
Life is short. So Love your child. Charish the moments. Never doubt that you are a good Mom. Yes we make mistakes, yes we are all a mess. Im a definate mess; But I am a beautiful mess. Im Gods masterpiece and thats enough!

Hey guys. I haven’t been on here lately. So sorry. Ive been so busy. I moved to liberty lake into this amazing apartment! Shea has been working so much more now that we are closer to work! We are saving lots more money and life has just been wonderful! But what I’m on here for is to let you all know my little baby boy; Gabriel Is going to be one tomorrow (July 14). And I am so happy and excited to celebrate his first year of life. I do miss when he was little and all he wanted to do with snuggle with me. Now he is walking all over the place. He has 6 teeth. He is talking. He has grown up SO MUCH in the past year. I just spent the past 20ish minutes crying cuz I was looking at pictures from when he was born. I love him so much and I don’t know what I’d do if he wasn’t here. He taught me how to be a mom. He has showed me what real love is. He has showed me how low I can go. And he was right there with me when I got back up. Most days the first face I see is his (other days it’s shea when...

Valentines Day

Well tomorrow is Valentines Day. What does that day mean to you? To me its basically another day. I mean its a good day to remind yourself how much you love your husband, boyfriend, wife or girlfriend. But what if you don't have any of those? What if you're single on Valentines day? Its a good day for you to remember how much God loves you. Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by his love; He will exult over you with loud singing. Its also a good reminder of how much you love your family. The definition of love in the Webster Dictionary is this: noun  1. An intense feeling of deep affection. 2. A person or thing that one loves. verb  1. To feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone). When you hear the word love your brain automatically goes to loving (someone). But sometimes someone will say they love _____ (something). Loving someone and loving something are two...

Being a stay at home mom Sept 15 2018

Gabriel turned 14 months yesterday. I can't believe he is getting so big. Gabriel sleeps 11-12 hours every night now (which is wonderful compared to how he slept just a few months ago). Today was a really good day it was filled with smiles, hugs, kisses and laughter! In the morning Gabriel gets up eats some food and he gets a sippy with half a protein shake and half milk and then we sit on the sofa and watch some cartoons. Then he goes in his room and plays in there till he is ready for his nap around 12. (He is finally taking one nap a day!) While he naps I take a shower and do some chores and then sit down and watch some of my netflix. Then when he wakes up he eats some lunch and then we play for a couple hours. Then it's time for me to cook dinner and for daddy to come home. Gabriel is now obsessed with his daddy! 😍 He walks around the house during the day saying "where's daddy?" And when daddy finally comes home Gabriel just wants to be with him and tell him ...
