No matter the meaning of change, it can be scary. Change is scary but it is also good. Change is healthy, and in some cases it is necessary.
From day one discussion of having kids, Isaac and I always knew that it was in our hearts for me to stay home with whatever children that we would one day have. When I got pregnant that became the topic of many discussions that we had..driving down the road, over breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yep, we probably did talk about it that much. We debated, weighed pros and cons, calculated finances. And in the end although we know that we will have to sacrifice some wants and make certain things we have stretch a little. We have prayed long and hard about it and we decided the best thing for Eli and the best thing for our Family would be for me to stay home with our little guy.
It was overwhelming to give my job a notice that I would be leaving. I have been there for five years and became very close with many there. It was hard to think that I would no longer be contributing financially to our family. But I know that I am contributing in the most important way. I am reassured of this every time I look at my little guy. I am so happy and feel very blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of his life at every moment, every day. I think that he will certainly benefit from this decision. You don't get this time back and I am glad that I will be here to watch him grow.
That being said... it isn't a piece of cake being home full time. I really didn't know what to expect. But I will be honest when I say that for some reason I thought that my sink would always be empty of dishes and the laundry would always be clean and put away. That my floor would be swept and freshly mopped every day. I knew babies were a lot of work. Trust me I really did know this. But I have come to the conclusion that there was only room for one June Cleaver in this world and I bet you anything that even Barbara Billingsley would have agreed with that. It is all worth it and in the end I know that I will have no regrets.
On with the pictures...
If there is a T.V. on this little boy can't manage to get his eyes off of it. Oh Boy!!
So precious!!
And although they aren't our favorite team but a close second..Eli was happy to be rooting for the Stealers on Super Bowl day.
But wasn't so happy to hear that they had lost.
