Loving: being a mom! Seriously being a mom has been everything I have ever dreamed of, wanted, and more. I finally feel like my life is being fulfilled, I am doing exactly what I was put on this earth to do. I'm not saying that I wasn't happy before Lucy, my life just has so much more meaning to it. This is the one thing I have longed for most in my life and it was really difficult not being able to have it. Whenever there was something I really wanted I would work my ass off to get it. Unfortunately, this was one thing that I had pretty much no control over and it was really hard to accept. I understand even more now that everything happens when it should because getting pregnant with Lucy truly happened at the perfect time for Rudy and me. We were both ready to be parents. I already know motherhood is only going to get better as Lucy grows up.

Enjoying: every minute with Lucy! I don't care if this sounds cheesy or if it's something every new mom says, I absolutely love being with Lucy all the time. I make sure to get some alone time because we all need it to refresh ourselves especially a stay-at-home mom. I have heard people say how couples need to have their time away from their baby and go on dates, and even though I think that's great I think I speak for both Rudy and me when I say that we just love always having her with us. The few times we have gone somewhere and left Lucy behind it just felt so weird and I missed her so much. Just like during the day when Lucy goes down for a nap and I want to get a nap in myself. Once Lucy is in the room sleeping and I'm in the other room trying to rest as well, I can't help but miss her so much. I'm always thanking God for her and always acknowledge how lucky I am to have her.

Looking forward to: warmer days! The weather has kind of started to brighten up once in a while. We had a few really warm days and I was loving it. I'm not excited about unbearable heat but I'm definitely ready for nice sunny days especially with Lucy. The last time we had really warm weather was when she was an itty bitty newborn only a few weeks old. Now she's six months old so it's going to be a lot of fun dressing her up in cute outfits and going on outings with her. As she's getting older she's so much aware of the world and so interested in basically everything I seriously cannot wait for summertime with her. 

Thinking: of Lucy's first birthday! It's crazy for me to even think of Lucy turning one year old, wow that's insane! Time is going by so crazy fast and I'm not ready to even imagine not having a little baby anymore. As much as I'm enjoying every single day of Lucy's life I am also so excited about her first birthday party. Rudy and I have been brainstorming ideas and themes, and I think we came up with the most perfect theme for her. With everything going on in the world this is another party I don't plan on making it huge. I plan on keeping it small just like I did for my baby shower, and possibly even smaller since I definitely want to keep Lucy safe. Once the time comes I will make sure to share all the party details with you all. We'll have to begin planning soon so that everything will be perfect for our sweet angel babe.
