My Source of Happiness

“… and she loves a little boy very, very much — even more than she loved herself.” — The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

I used to think I was giving up so much to become a mother. I honestly panicked a bit about this when I first became pregnant with Leon. And yes, it’s true, there are definitely things that have changed from before this little one... A LOT has changed, actually... but oh, what I’ve gained! 💗💗

We have our good days and blah days, exciting days and lay on the bed days. Our moods and every movement seem to be codependent on one another which can be totally tedious and beautiful all at once.

It’s not always going to be this intense (seems like the best word for right now... 😂), but at this time in my life, I am 100% living for him. Mothering this little one is a crazy, wild, incredible ride, and I’d choose it every single time.
