After 5 years of being a stay-at-home mom, I found the wonder of mothering slowly starting to get crowded out by the mundane feeling. I realized our world seems to surround people with the negative, and complaining about blessings seems totally acceptable. So I decided to fight against that "normalcy" and focus only on the positive. I look back to my first year as a mom when everything was new and keeping house was fun and I aim to have that attitude again. This blog is my outlet to showcase the daily miracles that surround me in my blessed life as a stay-at-home mom so that I will never forget the wonder of it all.

A New Experience

Remember that ultrasound I mentioned having recently?  Well, we did something we've never done before.  We had the Dr. put the gender in an envelope and seal it.  Why?  Well, honestly, I think this little one will wait to come until after 36 weeks.  BUT, when I faced the fact that baby could come early, I really didn't like the idea of giving birth, and then having baby and Zac taken away to the NICU while I laid in a hospital bed soaking in the gender without baby in my arms, not being able to look at baby and call it by name for the first time, etc.  I just thought that would be too hard.  So, this time around, I wanted to know the gender ahead of time.  Just in case. 
The morning after the ultrasound, we woke up to Kian already in our bed, and called for Felicity and Logan to join us.  Once we were all there, in our jammies, morning breath, and bed hair, we opened the envelope together.
