Wednesday Wisdom

I thought this quote was appropriate as Ben and I look towards the future and how times will change with the addition of our little guy. This quote not only holds true for mother, but for father as well. We will have the time we need, because we were given this gift of life!

Wednesday Wisdom

A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes and slept in the most perfect darkness. One for every time you had the hiccups. One for every dream you dreamed within me. It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it ugly. That's OK. It was your home. It's where I first grew to love you, where I lay my hand as I dreamed about who you were and who you would be. It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it. 

This has been circling around Pinterest now for a few months and I thought it was perfect for Wednesday's Wisdom post. If/When more stretch marks grace my body, I hope I have the courage to look at them this way.

Stretchmarks I am told are par for the course when having a baby. I have heard them referred to many different ways to make woman feel better about them, but this one is by far my favorite. It is an empowering statement, and makes me proud of the stripes I will earn!

This was found on Pinterest (if you haven't heard of pinterest.com you are missing out!).

Labor day weekend Ben and I dedicated a few hours to working on our baby registry. I am happy to say I think it is complete - however if you mom's out there think we are missing anything crucial, please let us know.
