I have a four month old baby. I cannot believe it. I cannot believe 4 months have already gone by since our little Kaylee has joined our pack. She is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me. I did not think I would love my mama title as much as I do. They say it’s an indescribable feeling, this love that you could never imagine. I was the same as everyone else, thinking yeah it will be different, but I couldn’t ever imagine in my wildest dreams that becoming a mom would make me feel like this. I feel like so many things have changed, my perspective on things has shifted. My priorities are completely different.
As much as 2020 was a hard year, it has been my best for that one major reason: Kaylee. She has brought so much joy into my heart, so much happiness into our every day. She is my greatest accomplishment, my proudest life moment. I wouldn’t trade becoming a mom for anything in the world.
My goal for 2021 is a simple one: live each day appreciating every single moment. If 2020 taught us anything is that we shouldn’t take the little things for granted. Little things like being able to go to the mall, or being able to see friends. Our freedom. For most of the year, our freedom was taken away from us, it is still being held from us. Making the best of every single day, even if its just being our little family in our home, is the most important thing. We are still making memories and more importantly, we are making important memories for Kaylee. Everything we do is for her, to give her the best of everything, teach her as much as we can.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope the next year is better than the last. Make it what you want, make the best of what you are given, that is the only thing we can do. That is in our control. Create a life you love.
