I have been thinking a lot about change lately. Mostly because since the birth of my beautiful energetic daughter EVERYTHING has changed.....definitely not for the worse, my life is different. For the most part I think I handle change pretty well. I'm always telling myself I've got to roll with the punches. There are changes in my life that are happening right now that I am both excited for and dreading, and some that evoke both feelings.
First I am turning 32 tomorrow.....I'M A 32 YEAR OLD. My body is definitely different than it was when I was in my twenties. I now look at skinny girls and wish I had their bodies. I am frumpy. My husband still tells me he thinks I'm beautiful which is all that really matters but some days.....okay most days I want to look hot....not tired and frumpy. I look at pictures of all my high school friends and they all look hot and I just don't know how they do it. I barely have enough time to bathe let alone work out and do my hair.
Second my sweet adorable baby is growing. I know this is natural and even how it is suppose to go, it's a sign of good health, BUT I want her to stay little. I want her to be my baby. She is only 8 months old (on the 1st of May) and she has 3 teeth and is wanting to walk everywhere (she just needs to hold your two pointer fingers ONLY, don't wrap the others around her) She wants to eat everything that you do. I bought her an 18 month outfit yesterday that will fit her now!!! I know the sizing may be a little off but really she is wearing 12 month pants and 9-12 clothes. Her legs are so long and rock solid muscle, as are her abs. She really doesn't have much baby fat....I think it ended up on me.
Lastly I am now the Young Women's President.....that means I am responsible for the girls that are 12- 18 in our church. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH CRAP THEY DEAL WITH!!!!! It's pretty much the same stuff we dealt with but on a much more intense level....Oh the things I get to look forward to in raising my own daughter. I have 10 wonderful young women 5 that are consistently there. This is a calling that I am both excited, and scared about. Scared about helping them through their challenges and so excited to work with them. They are a lot of fun and very strong and good girls. So as life changes I will continue to roll with the punches and as my waist line expands it might even get easier (think Violet Beauregarde in Willey Wonka).
