Oh baby!

What to talk about? I have a baby so of course that's the only thing I'm capable of talking about; Austin consumes my thoughts (that was funny when he climbed on Brutus today),
actions (remember to put the cord up so he can't pull the hair dryer down),
prayers (Father in Heaven please help me to not let Austin get killed, that he will be able to grow up and live a happy healthy life despite my stupidity)- obviously prayers are answered because he's made it 10 months- miracles happen every day!

A little background on me; I've never really liked kids, I never wanted to have any, I never had the desire to have them, the only reason why we decided to have kids was because we felt like it was time (if I feel like I need to do something, I do it, I've learned the hard way that it's easier to go forward and trust God to begin with- He knows best!). And I'm just going to add an additional amen (yes I'm agreeing with myself) to my last comment. What I have learned from becoming a mom is this: God knows what's best for me and my life. Until I had this epiphany I just had to trust (which I didn't do very well this time, and never do as well as I should- because this isn't the first time I've thought I've learned this principal (since Bryan never reads my blog I can say this: it's like when we got married I loved him but it was like superficial chick flick love- now it's completely indescribable how much love  I have for him- the word "love" doesn't do it justice [so mushy right] --> my understanding just gets deeper and deeper each time I "learn" this lesson)). I love (and hate - when I'm going through it) how each person has to come to that conclusion on their own. Whether it's through having kids, not being able to have kids, getting married, not getting married, working, not finding work - the conclusion is the same: God knows what's best for us and our lives! I guess the moral of the story is that I love Jesus... And Austin... And Bryan... And life is good ;)
