Sometimes in life we get so busy we forget to stop and be thankful for all the little things and even sometimes the big stuff. Recently life has been that busy for us but over the last few days I have just been so overcome with how lucky I truly am. I am the wife of a wonderful husband and a Mommy to 3 amazing, beautiful little boys.
Keaton has grown so much over the last 5 years, it's almost more than my mind can wrap around. He is a little man now, independent, head strong and so VERY smart. I will never forget how small and helpless he was when they laid him on my chest the minutes after he was born. I was so scared of what was to come, how would we love, and care for this amazing little boy. He was OURS but neither of us new the amazing journey we would be taking from the moment of his birth. Keaton was the start of our amazing life and family and he was our test case I guess you could say. I was so worried and determined not to damage or screw him up in anyway. I think Ben and I have done a pretty good job so far as here we are 51/2years later and he is just AMAZING what he has become.
I always new I wanted at least 2 children and when we found out Ryan was growing inside me I was over the moon. If he was anything like his brother I knew we were going to be blessed. What I didn't know was that I am grateful that he is like his brother in many ways but even more blessed that he is just RYAN BENJAMIN a wonderful little boy all his own. Ryan came out into the world with a cry and a deposition that has become just him, it's still much the same as when he was a baby. He is laid back, observant, serious, very loving, yet stubborn and just all boy. He has become my boys, boy in that he LOVES to get dirty, he LOVES puddles and mud and has been known to paint himself with chalk, mud, paint, ect..... Ryan has done something that I thought would be hard to do in the shadow of his big brother and that it Shine BRIGHTLY and make our hearts burst with pride and love every moment.
A mother worries always but of course I was so worried how I would find the ability to love a third child,when I found I was pregnant with our third and beloved son. How would I survive being a mom of three active little boys, where would the love and patience come from for another child? Well I should have never worried because the moment Aiden began his journey out into this world I was in love. The long labor and the end result of Aiden Alexander on my chest so purple and not crying and labored breathing scared me to death and I never knew I could be so in love and need something so much. When I heard him finally crying and saw his beautiful skin turn pink I knew there was no turning back. God gave me my angle and he is our beautiful Aiden. Aiden may only be 11 weeks but he is forever ours. My heart is more full now than it's ever been, I couldn't imagine a day without our sweet Aiden, he is a wonderful baby. He has such a wonderful deposition, in that he is so laid back, and even tempered. As long as he's feed, dry and getting some naps and snuggle time he is a happy guy. I just can wait to see how he grows and changes over the next few months and years. If he's anything like his brothers I will be truly bless.
So even when my house is crazy and kids screaming and my head spinning because the boys are driving me out of my mind I have to stop myself and remember that these times with my boys are special. On the other hand I have to take each wonderful moment that I get to watch my sons grow and learn something new, grownEveryday is a memory and a day in their amazing little life that is making them who they will be when they grow up one day and go out into the big crazy world. Time goes fast that one day can never be redone, so enjoy it for whatever it shall bring.
In short being a mom of three boys and amazing husband is not always easy but one thing that it is always is a journey and a blessing. Most of all I wouldn't change one single thing, my life is all I could ever hope for an more. I am truly blessed and SO IN LOVE with all my boys!!!
