The last 10 Months!!!

I wouldn't say that I'm exactly ready to have another baby, but putting away yet another pile of clothes that Addy has grown out of gets me sad.  I just can't believe how fast time is going by! I know everyone says that all the time but it feels like a lifetime ago that I had this tiny little newborn baby.  She was so small and practically always sleeping and oh... the falling asleep in my arms! That was the best!  I get so emotional pretty much every month that she gets older and I realize that she will never be this small again.  The way that she laughs just because I smile at her won't last for much longer.  Me and Butch want a big family so I know that, God willing, we will have those feelings and experiences again - but this, right now, just needs to slow down a little.  I love this little girl with all of my heart and am so blessed to have her in my life.  Every day I love her more and more and, although I'm really excited for the future I just want to enjoy this moment in time with her and Butch.
We are far from being financially well off, our house is FAR from being done, our cars (especially mine) can really suck sometimes, I sleep only a handful of hours each week, but I still love my life!  I can't imagine being anywhere else in life right now and I feel like it's not even fair how blessed I am.  I am thankful for my daughter and husband and all of our love.
Happy 10 months Addy!!

Barnyard Baby!

Ok I'm not really the biggest fan of animals on kid's clothing... let alone barnyard animals... but for some reason this fabric caught my eye and I couldn't get it out of my mind.  Figures it's one of my favorite dresses to date!!

My Mommy Life...

I really hope that I am not missing the mark with what I am supposed to be doing each day.  I definitely find myself having 'guilty mom syndrome' quite often, wondering if I'm not playing with Addy enough, or reading to her enough, or showing her enough love... and yet the days that I do, I just think that I'm a bad mom for spoiling her!  I know that God has a plan laid out for my life and I really, really want to follow that plan!  I pray every day for guidance and encouragement and wisdom, but I think I'm so busy talking sometimes that I don't give enough time to "listening"!  I know that there are clear signs right in front of my face sometimes and instead of seeing them I just see my own ambitions and wants and tend to take things into my own hands.  My understanding of what a "good mom" is is nothing short of perfection.  I know in my heart that it's not true, but I still strive for this goal of being a perfect mom - which I know the goal isn't bad, it's good - but when I don't measure up I feel like I've failed.  Is there a mom out there who doesn't feel like this or is it all part of the job?
I really love any and all encouragement from other moms and, of course, reading the bible and what God's view of a mom should be is such an encouragement.  I'm going to continue to strive for this goal but I hope and pray that my heart will listen to God and not Heidi when it comes to making decisions. 
I LOVE being a mom so much more than I ever thought a person could love something, but whoever said that being a mom is the best and the Hardest job ever is sooo right!! It comes with some inevitables like lack of sleep, tiredness, being awake too long.... are these the same things??  But when I see that cute little face, I just think "ahh, I can't wait to have more!"

(*Keep reading those Proverbs!! 13 was a really good one! I'll try to catch up on blogs soon.)
