A Baby Changes Everything

I posted this on FB the week of Christmas.....but I really like it so it's my first official blog of the week (yesterday was just an introduction :)

A Baby Changes Everything • I love this Christmas song. As I am so thankful for the fact that God manifested Himself in flesh & saved us from our sins. I also reflect on this song as a mother.

A baby changes EVERYTHING! Our sleep habits change • the phrase "sleep like a baby" has a whole different meaning to mothers. Our eating habits change • you eat when you can, if you can! Our driving changes • we aren't as reckless. Our body changes! • things expand & sometimes don't get back the way they were! Our hair color changes • or lack thereof. Our eyes change • they're in the back of our head now as well. Our mouth changes • you start watching what you say!

But then our outlook on life changes! We start noticing the little things. Like instead of being frustrated a train crossing is making you late, you look through the eyes of a toddler & count the train cars. You make more time for hugs & kisses then you do for folding laundry. The dandelions are much prettier when picked by your little girl.

So a baby changes EVERYTHING! It may not be all the things we look forward to but when we look back we wouldn't change a THING!!!!!
