Ramblings to my Son♥

Dear Austin McHenry,

In your short 6 months you have taught me so much and have even managed to pluck the "S" key off my laptop , and I noticed that you plucked the "CTRL" key off your Daddy's keyboard too! LOL Maybe you will be a computer junkie! :) Austin you have truly taught me so much about life. I know now that time NEVER stands still even as much as I would like for it to sometimes. You have grown up so much in such a short time, Mommy has a hard time even picturing how you looked in my arms the evening we brought you home from the hospital. You are such a joy to have around! No matter what is going on in my life that might be trying to get me down, all I have to do is look over at you and you give me the biggest smile! In the right light you can even see your two bottom teeth that are starting to show through. You have a smile that brightens the world! Even your Great PawPaw says that you smile all the time just like your momma did when she was your age! I'm so glad that you got to meet your Great PawPaw and Great Nannie. I hope for you to see them a lot. No day is promised on this earth and PawPaw is a very weak man. He has lived his life and is ready to go home to the Lord. I talk to you about the Lord a lot. I know that you don't really understand what it is I am saying but I know that you have a heart for GOD! God LOVES you very much Austin! And so does EVERYONE in your life!

THINGS THAT I HAVE LEARNED HAVING YOU IN MY LIFE:

*Babies like to sing and talk during praise time at church, and it does not stop when the preacher is preaching! :)
*That some other mommas in the world are not nice! Sue me if you like! I proudly formula feed and I am finally at peace with that.
*It takes well over an hour to get us ready to go ANYWHERE! (even to the grocery store for eggs)
*Sophie the Giraffe is the best $15 that I have spent on a toy!
*Make up is OVER RATED! I think I have wore make up 3 times since you have been born.
*Petty things that used to matter , just DON'T anymore.
*Its OK to ask for advice from other moms, but in the end I am still your Mom and knows what is best for you.
*When bottle feeding start with the cheap bottles. ( you will save lots of money that way)
*Anyone can talk about you but they better NOT talk about my beautiful little boy!!!!
*You can get a bargain! I still have not bought diapers with out a coupon since you were born!

I could go on and on with this list

I Love you my wonderful Booga Butt! You complete my life and everything in me! It still hurts to sit here at work and your not in arms reach! But I do it for you little man! Momma LOVES YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH!!!!

UGGGHHHHH

I'm not a 100% sure if this is the same article that was read by the person that brought it to my attention, but It definatly struck a cord in me!

I work hard to provide for my DS! I want for him to NEVER want for anything that he may need! I also dont work you average Mon-Fri 9-5 , but I put in 80 hrs every two weeks. My first week I look 5 12 hr shifts(Mon,Tues, Fri, Sat, & Sun) and the 2nd week I work Wed 12 hrs and Thurs is only 8 hrs. So does that mean bc of this Australian study that my son is not going to be healthy?? I dont think so! He is as healthy as can be!

Mind you this statement was posted on a persons facebook status and I looked up the acticle to read and found this one. Something else is the person that posted their status is a stay at home mom that sells Pampered Chef on the side.

I whole heartedly feel that it would be so nice to work from home or not work at all! But then again going to work is like the Mommy free time and getting paid for it! I feel that I have a very rewarding career and I really enjoy it and love the fact that I don't work Mon-Fri.

I guess that means my kid is going to be fat because Im not home with him all the time... oh well. That does not mean that I live love him any different.
