if i could turn back time
i love sean a lot, and as the weeks have gone by, i've learn to love and adore him more and more. even with that, there have been times where i wish i could go back to the times where sean hadn't come out yet. i miss the times where it was just nat and i. i miss getting nat's undivided attention as the "most important" person in his life (minus God/Jesus). i miss the footloose and fancy free life. i miss having to be less responsible.
despite all these things, i see how God is working in my life. it used to be that i never knew how selfish i was until i got married. now, i really know how selfish i am having to serve my son. God continues to refine me by being a mom. i need to remember to be thankful and joyful of the times i had just being a wife and also to be thankful for this time period as well. :)

We're just never satisfied, are we? The grass is always greener....just remember that while it is very important to tend to your baby, it is also important to still have one-on-one "Nat and Ramona" time. (Yeah, I know - we're terrible about that, too...) If you're at all like us, you'll have to schedule it, because spontaneous date-times don't work well with an infant!
When my daughter was a few weeks old, I clearly remember my wife telling her (with tears in my wife's eyes), "I wish you would go back to where you came from." I then looked at my wife and said with all serousness, "Should I take her back to the hospital?"
