As I write this I'm thinking....I should get Hudson up from his nap. BUT then I would lose my moment of Julia time. I have a feeling this will be a quick blog even though there is SO much to write - since I've shied away from this blog. But here I am. I look at my last two posts. Just moved back from Mali. Then I got an insulin pump. About 10 months following the insulin pump we found out we had a bun in the oven. 8 months later Hudson came 7 weeks early. And life continues to be a whirlwind since. A good whirlwind let me tell you.
Constant shaping seems to come with being a mom. I thought I learned how selfish I was when we got married. It's even more evident now. But it's refreshing to be stretched and grow. And change. I used to color code my planner for pete's sake! Now I'm lucky if I get things down on the planner. Sometimes I wish I was a little more organized, I am enough for us to function. I had so many aspirations to be super mom. I just finished looking at the
http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/ website. Wow! While there are many things I like about it and would love to do, I have to remember it's okay if I don't. Hudson will still grow whether he eats Gerber or mommy-made food.
I have so many more thoughts I'd love to jot down, a new job in the horizon, changes in our lives, changes in me but that's all I have time for now. I'm thankful I don't have to do everything. Thankful I don't have to live up to the expectations of myself to find love from my savior, husband, family and friends. I think we should all have a little more grace for ourselves and each other. Happy Saturday!
