Lost Time
One thing I have learned since becoming a mom is to cherish every second I have with my son Gideon. It was only 15 months ago that he was born and he has already gotten so big.
Those days when he was so tiny, I know I won't get them back. Those were scary times but I sure miss them. I view time in a whole new light. Life is short. Time passes by so much faster the older you get. I wonder to myself where does the time go? Looking back at old photos and videos and remembering that moment, realizing you won't get to relive that moment ever again. It's almost
overwhelming when you really think about it. I've thought so many times how I want him to stay this little always. Because one day he won't need me anymore. Becoming a mother is more fulfilling than I ever thought.
When I was younger I used to think about having kids. Every fantasy was full of selfish objections. I wouldn't get to do this or I wouldn't be free to do that. I would be so unhappy and the kid would just annoy me all the time. I was afraid my whole life would be ruined. Plus I was terrified of giving birth.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
I can honestly say I've never been happier I've never felt as complete as I do right now. I don't feel like I've lost anything. I have only gained everything. I have so many plans and the freedom to do anything. We've traveled a few times already. Sure we are pretty much broke but we are managing our money. We flew all the way to Belize and back with a baby and we can do it again. Cloth diapers, cloth wipes and making your own baby food will save you tons of money.

I'm always thinking of new ways to save money.
Your life is not over when you have kids it's only the beginning of a new more exciting life.
A life with a new family.
