A Year of Change

It has been a year of change for our house hold!

It was September 23 when we discovered that we were finally pregnant! We have had so much heartbreak when it comes to starting our family. So deep down...I knew this was it. I still struggled with lots of doubt but deep down I knew this was really happening for us. So on April 16, 2009 we welcomed Hayden to our lives. Besides my wedding day, this was the happiest day of my life. My "Boys" are my life. I can't imagine not having Hayden now that he is here. He helps make our lives complete. Being a Mommy is my #1 job. Nothing comes before Hayden these days!!!

They say having a baby changes everything. That's the case in our house for sure. No more going to bed at 9 p.m. and sleeping all night. No more coming in from a long hard day to just sit on the couch and rest! It's an evening of meeting Hayden's needs and a night filled with ups & downs for a mid night feeding.

Little did I know that having Hayden would change everything...including my job. I always saw myself with Cal Farley's until I retired. That was the plan before Hayden. But that changed on August 5, I started a new job. I must say, that is the best move I have made in awhile. I made the change for Hayden...so I thought. But this new job has been an absolute blessing to me. The ladies that I work with are just as amazing as my friends from Cal Farley's. So this job change has benefited me so much more than just for Hayden. It gives me time to myself through the day. I get to come home for lunch to do housework so that when Hayden gets home, I can devote my time to him instead of the housework.

I can't push rewind with Hayden and relive what I've missed. So if I'm going to be a working Mom, this is the way to do it!!!

Everything happens for a reason!!!
