Life as a Mommy

Being a Mom is the greatest yet the most exhausting thing I've ever done in my whole life! Until you are a mom you have no idea how much work it actually takes to care for a baby. On a daily basis I probably change 15-20 diapers, she has a bit of an issue with blowouts haha and I think the loads of laundry doubled when she came along . We go through two to three outfits a day and I feed her ALL DAY everyday! There are no quick runs to the grocery store because you have to pack the baby in and I don't like to run into the gas station anymore because I can't leave her in the car. I have to plan when I'm going to clean the house so that I don't have to stop and feed her while I'm doing it. Bringing a baby into the world is a huge adjustment but it's the best thing I have ever done and I can't even begin to describe how much I love my baby girl. She has brought so much happiness and joy into our lives and despite all the diapers, laundry, crying, feeding it is all completely worth it. There isn't anything in the world I wouldn't do for that sweet girl. I'm beyond blessed to be able to be her Mom and I love her more and more everyday. Seeing her smile is probably the best thing in this world; my heart melts when she looks at me with those big blue eyes and smiles from ear to ear. There are days when its hard because Cory is gone all day and I'm not by my family but there is nothing better than being a wife and Mom. Seeing Cory with Tess has made me love and appreciate him so much more. He is the best Daddy I could ever ask for for our children. I just feel so lucky to have my little family.

Tessa's Blessing

Tessa Tae Baum was blessed by her daddy on June the 2nd. It was such a special day and I'm so grateful for my amazing husband for being able to bless her. He gave her such a wonderful blessing and she was so good during it. It was so fun to have our some of our family and friends there. My parents were able to come out and I'm beyond thankful for that. It meant the world to me that they were able to make it for her blessing.
