Finally!

Well, I have been wanting to start a blog since I became pregnant with Trent....here we are a year later......

I can't believe he is already 3 months old! It has been a difficult 3 months. He was a very fussy baby, basically 24/7 but what saved me was the fact that he did sleep well at night. Being a mom is so much more difficult than I ever imagined. I know everyone tells you it is hard, but nothing really prepares you for what is ahead. I always tease that I would have been a better mother at 16 than I am now, some days I think I am too old for this!

But now, 3 months later he is becoming such a fun little guy! His screams have been replaced with smiles and giggles. He can now hold up his head and wants to GO GO GO!! He loves the fact that he can be more independent in his Jumper and Bumbo seat. He still loves to be with mama though, loving the Moby wrap, watching me cook, clean or go for walks outside. Speaking of outside...he loves it!

I am so very thankful for wonderful family and friends that have held me up these last 3 months. I now understand the meaning of "It takes a village...". I am also so lucky to have an amazingly understanding, loving and supportive husband. He has been the rock to our crazy life during the last months. He is such a great daddy too! He has spent many days alone with Trent and does wonderfully.

Today's prayer request is for a little girl I have been following that has a brain tumor. Her name is Kate and she is only 5. She just began her second round of chemo this week. Her parents are amazing in the fact that this journey has brought them closer to God, not pushed them away. They are an amazing family, so please keep them in your prayers.
