But hearing "mama" as soon as Jackson wakes up and watching his face light up when he sees me is so much more important than all the time (and sleep) in the world!

The Joy of Motherhood
Oh the many joys. As I sit here typing this, I have to pause periodically to take computer cords out of Jackson's mouth or pull him out from under my chair. I think about all the time I had before I had a baby. Justin and I could go and do as we pleased. I would call on Friday afternoon and say, "Mexican food and a movie tonight?" and he would say, "Sure!" and that was that. If we wanted to stay up late watching some cop gone wrong movie, we would because we could sleep until noon Saturday (although I rarely did!). Those days have been replaced with thoughts of a "family friendly" restaurant, and being home by Jackson's bed time. And instead of staying up to watch a movie, I stay up to shave my legs and if I'm lucky I'll throw on a mud mask. What did I do before I had Jackson? I was so selfish with my time!

I'm again up much too late/early, due to that whole "where did my time go before I was a mom thing," and I checked your site and read again your post about what you did with your time before Jackson. I now have tears in my eyes because what you said is so very true. The tears came because I read your words and looked at Jacksons sweet face...it all becomes so clear. We have very little (if any) time for ourselves now because we've given our lives to our precious babies that we love so much. I just hope that one day they too will have children and will know how much we love them and the sacrifices we make and will continue to make. You are a WONDERFUL, Christian mom, Sarah, and Jackson is a very lucky ornery, wiggly, adorable boy!!! :+}
