New Beginnings

New Beginnings just seemed fitting for the title of this blog post.  

It has been far too long since I have found myself sitting in front of the keys of this computer.  Far too long since I have spent time talking with all of you about the daily struggles of my heart.  So much has changed since my last post.

I am now the proud Mommy of 3 beautiful children.  Not long after my last post we were blessed with the news that we were expecting.  God brought into our lives a handsome little boy who now holds a special place in all of our hearts.  I wouldn't change anything for the world.

Unfortunately, during my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.  Dear Friends, I found myself putting on so much weight that I knew that there was something not quite right.  Once I received my diagnosis, steps were put in place to not only keep our Little Man safe, but to also help keep me healthy and safe too.  Thankfully I did not put on any more weight after I was diagnosed and we were blessed with a healthy, handsome, 8lbs 7oz bouncing baby boy!

I now sit here battling the "baby weight" yet again!  I thought that I was through this battle.  I thought that after I had our Little Man I would be able to make all the right choices again since I had already been down this road before.

I was wrong.  Oh so terribly wrong.

It is a struggle, dear friends.  There is no other way to put it.  This is a battle that rages war within my soul and my being.

While I may have made the right decisions before finding myself pregnant, I am struggling to find the right balance between being a Mom to 3 and taking care of the house and all the other things that fall in the role of being a wife and mother.

So I invite you to come along on this journey with me again.  As I strive to be the wife, mother, and friend that God designed me to be!  :)
