It's only the beginning

People have been blogging for years now so why am I just now starting? I have realized that I don't remember things as well as I used to. There are so many moments during the day that I say to myself "ponder this Erin, you don't want to forget this". No, it's not just because I'm turning 30 next month! I'm convinced that pregnancy permanently destroys brain cells. And now my brain has a "temporary files to delete" file that I have no control over. Things like when did my first son Asher roll over for the first time? When did I start feeling like a human again and not like a sleep deprived bottle maker? Was there a time when my husband and I had more that 20 un-interrupted minutes to talk? All sorts of stuff ends up in this file and yet, I remember songs that I learned at 10 years old, what color my foot turned after being stepped on by a huge horse 17 years ago and random things that I don't expect to remember.

Should the important things be recorded in a baby book or journal somewhere? YES! But, I don't journal. I have so many journals that have about 10 pages or so with something written in them. I have great intentions, just no follow through in the journal department. And we won't talk about the baby book. My dear friend scolds me for that one, and deservedly so! So this is a new chapter! I have high hopes that I will be able to prevent more important things from being forgotten.

Motherhood has introduced me to a whole new world of love, tenderness, strength and happiness that I never knew existed. I am in love with my husband and my two precious boys. They give me pages of stories and thoughts each day. I am so excited about this new adenture!

Thank you for reading my first blog :)
