Overwhelming Joy

Happy New Year, faithful "That Mom" readers!! I can't believe I have neglected this blog so much for as much as I love writing. I won't officially make it a resolution to write more since resolutions are made to be broken. But I am hoping to write a lot more often in 2013.

The title of this post, Overwhelming Joy, refers to the feeling I have had in my heart for nearly 2 years. I hope that all parents feel it. It is was gets me through the illnesses, the tantrums, the sleepless nights, the days away at work.

It is made up of thousands of moments everyday. And it makes my heart feel like it is going to burst.

A coworker of mine playfully says I am obsessed with PB. And maybe I am. I would hope all parents would be to some extent. He and the Hub make my whole world go 'round.

I am "That Mom" I said I'd never be. I show pictures of PB to everyone. I show videos. Tell stories. Plan social events around spending my valuable time with him. No wonder people think I'm obsessed. He is the one thing I am most proud of in my life.

You've heard a lot about the challenges of parenting. But this wouldn't be a genuine blog about parenting if there wasn't an overlaying theme of the absolute joy that everyday brings.

PB is amazing. Watching him grow and learn...mind-blowing. Seeing him run toward me with a proud smile on his face...the best feeling in the world.

Overwhelming joy.
