Happy Birthday Axel

In roughly 15 hours, my precious son will be 2 years old. I cannot believe it. This has been an amazing, life altering (of course), unreal experience, and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of this precious little life.

Two years ago I couldn’t have even IMAGINED where I would be right now, much less how I would feel. I have changed so radically. It’s the same sort of thing as aging. You don’t feel different on your birthday, even thought you are ‘a year older’, but if you look back a couple of years, you really are different.

I am always changing and growing, but motherhood has really transformed me into a ‘better’ person. A new element of myself was released when Axel was born. The mommy part. I feel blessed beyond words.

Happy birthday my sweet darling mini-man. You are more perfect than I could have ever imagined.

Mango Season!

Yes. My husband has mango ALL over his face. We decided that we could make really funny videos if I would go back and interject funny phrases making fun of him throughout all the shows. Hey! It was his idea!

Parenthood Is Time Consuming

It’s amazing how intentions can change so quickly. I truly intended to write on this blog every day. Then, it became 3 times per week. And now, my goal has been not to ‘give up’ on it. Ugh. Blogging is so therapeutic. I need it. Especially, since Axel is getting into the crazy toddler stage. I need moments to just be alone and process what is going on with me and ‘us’ as a family.

I have my first meeting with a psychologist soon, so maybe she’ll be able to help me manage my time better. We shall see.

Isn’t he getting big? And, unbelievably, he literally gets cuter every single day.
