Motherhood and Daily Duties

My heart is full. As I hold my sweet baby boy in my arms, I look into his loving face and think, "He is mine." He is a part of me. I am responsible for him. His dependency is so great that makes me feel tremendously needed. Motherhood is like nothing that I have ever experienced before. To love someone so much, so different, than you have ever loved before, is extremely powerful. Words cannot even begin to express what I feel.

I have already learned a great deal by being a mother. Each and every day brings new experiences that I would have never learned if I hadn't of brought my precious baby into this world. I am looking forward to the many years that I have to spend with Ryker; and the many other little blessings that I will have the opportunity to bring into this life as well.

As I think about my role as a mother today, I will be quite a busy bee getting many things done.

I love lists. Ask my husband. Lists are my absolute favorite; as I make them daily.

So today consists of [in order]:

• Bathe Ryker
• Make Austin Lunch
• Deep clean bedroom [Spring cleaning is upon us.]
• Play with Ryker
• Complete two pages of Ryker's baby book
• Shopping at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Ross to get things ready for Kristell's baby shower
• Play with Ryker
• Visiting teaching
• Make dinner
• Play with Ryker

Of course, this list does not include my complete 'Ryker duties;' for that is a whole other one.
But I am very excited for today! It shall be a good one.

Here are some pictures to hopefully brighten your day. I know they did mine.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
