Parenthood has such a learning curve. I knew life would be different, but there are just so many things that I'm learning to do daily with Owen. It's funny how I've been out of school for a couple of years, but I do feel like a student in some ways: researching immunizations, planning out the week for food and meals, fixing lunches for the hubby, keeping Owen on a schedule (of sorts) and of course having Netflix on during many of those projects:)
I realized a mistake I made a few weeks ago and I had to stop and remind myself that this takes time, and I am learning and I will make mistakes. Thank the Lord for my husband and his guidance and wisdom, as well as God's sovereignty over our parenting. I'm learning everyday about loving Owen, diligence in taking care of him, respecting and submitting to my husband and so many other aspects of our lives. People say that you get to know your spouse best once you have children and that is just so true. There is no study session like those midnight feedings and early morning diaper changes to teach you about your spouse. I have found that mine is an absolute saint.
Our life is so different now in many ways, but also very much the same. Its a new chapter in our story with another little character in the mix.

Haha. It looks like Owen and my little nephew (1 month older) have the same opinion of tummy time. Somewhere between, "For reals?" and "GET ME UP OFF THIS FLOOR I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT!"
ReplyDeleteHaha totally. I imagine that if we had to do tummy time, we would have the same reaction:)
DeleteWhat sweet photos! Being a parent for the first time is such a life change, for sure. My little one is 8 months old now, and I'm still constantly learning.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie. Its a blessing to have family and friends to look to for wisdom and lessons already learned:)
DeleteSuch sweet pics, Jen/Horace. I think Owen looks happiest in his tie-dyed onesie ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks momma. I agree!
DeleteI love you.
