For my first "real" post I want to write about something that is so new, yet dear to my heart-Being a mama. Everyone always told me that the love you have for your child is a love you have never known. Of course, I believed them, but never did I understand until I had my very own child. It is still weird to say. I. have. a. child. God has trusted to me to love and raise a little human being while here on earth. Evan Jaimison Hay was born December 3rd, 2010. The love I had for him was instant and so overwhelming. In the first few weeks, that love almost scared me-what if something would happen to him?? How would I go on? But I have learned to not fear this love but embrace it and cherish every single second. As the weeks/months have gone by, this crazy love keeps growing! When I thought I could not love this little boy anymore, the sun rises on a new day and that love has grown again. I now feel like I have a glimpse of God's love for us. The unconditional love that is so hard to fathom. And to think that God sent his only son to die for us. Such an unimaginable sacrifice that I am so grateful for.

I have a more than amazing husband by my side to raise our son and I know we have so much to look forward to. I have loved every stage thus far that we have gone through with Evan. Those stages can be another post on a new day. Now time to head to bed because that little love of mine will be waking up soon to eat again. G'night!
