My birthday
Today is my birthday and I am feeling extra special and nostalgic. It was the night of my birthday last year that Jon and I decided to stop preventing pregnancy and less than a month later, we conceived our little Ford. In the past year I've not only added a year to my age, I've started to fill the role I know the Lord had planned for me my entire life, a mother. It's surreal thinking about life before Ford, or even life before he was in my belly and today I am feeling so blessed that we made that leap of faith to start our family. It was a lot sooner than we had originally planned but the Lord was encouraging us and we listened.
This weekend was exactly what I wanted for my birthday...besides a handful of quick little outings, we snuggled at home, napped, lit pumpkin candles, and stayed in our jammies. Right now Ford and I are still in bed while daddy does some work and later today today we are leaving him for a mommy/daddy date. Motherhood is the best gift I could have ever received this week!

We also started cloth diapering this weekend and it's been really successful! Now let's see if I can get the wash routine down.
Off to enjoy birthday cuddles with my boys!

What kind of cloth diapers are you using. I'm using the Flip System and absolutely love it! It all takes some getting used to, figuring out what works for YOU, but once you have it down, it's totally easy.
Happy Birthday Ruthie! Its my daughters birthday today too! Enjoy your day!
