When I turned 20 I was a few months pregnant with my first baby. In July, I turn 30 and I'll be a few weeks away from having my (very most likely) last baby. What a decade it has been! It has been ten years of poopy diapers, messy faces, runny noses, and sticky...well, everything. Ten years of tantrums, screams, loud laughter, crying, begging, whining, fighting, jumping, banging, and "Mom, Mom, MOM!." It has been a decade of cooking, cleaning the same messes, endless laundry and dishes. It has been midnight feedings, bed wettings, nightmare consoling, 2 am parties, 5 am wake up calls and "I can't sleep".  It has also been a decade of newborn sounds and smells, first smiles and first steps, wet kisses, chubby hands, I-lub-oo, proud smiles, new discoveries, sibling love, pretend play and kisses better. I've watched my body expand and shrink. I've gone from can't see my toes to running a half marathon. I've felt the little wiggles within me and the contractions. I've had hormones that have brought me to my knees time and time again. I've given my body to a process that is painful and unforgiving. I will forever be changed inside and out. It has been humbling working this job. It has taken everything I had and replaced it with something so much better. I am a better woman, wife and mother. It is amazing to me to see how the Lord has changed me over these last 10 years into something much kinder, gentler and understanding. I'm grateful for the Atonement in my life and His grace and these babies. It has been the greatest blessing of my life to be a wife and a mommy. I don't need old ladies telling me I'm going to miss this, I know it. But I look forward to the next ten years with all its trails and fun of teenagers. I'm a little scared and excited. But I'm all in, because I love these people and I want to change. So stay tuned, the adventure might change, but it will still be fantastic!
