I put on some non-maternity skinny jeans (yes ftw) and some tall boots and walked out into the kitchen with confidence. Jeff said to Colton, "Mommy is wearing her kick-a boots today!" Damn straight! I drove confidently and yet a little nervously ... a confrontation is never a fun thing but can be used to be empowering! It went well and was as transactional as possible. This is the best I've felt in a long while.. the stress lifted away in such a great way and I walked away confidently (Ok, not gonna lie - I kinda skipped my way down the hall and down five flights of stairs! I'm outta there and so happy to be moving on!). I am not allowing people to treat me with disrespect and disregard. Bam.
I've been thinking a lot about my Grandma today and ironically - my lips have been so naturally red (just like hers!) and I love the little things that make up part of my day! They are never this red in their own... #littlesurprisesandsimplepleasures
Anyways, I cherish our sweet sons and I wish they could have met their Great-Grandparents. Their lives would have been so enriched!
Everett had a big first last night — the first night of sleeping in his room, in his crib .. not in our room, in his cradle (made by my Papa 41 years ago). Seasons! And trusting through them that the last of something can be sad, yet there is first of something, too. The last day of being pregnant but the first day of becoming a mother.. there is a season for everything and I'm trusting that in the last day of my job/client - there will be something to look forward to in the future.
I'm happy, thankful and appreciative. 💕 My heart is overflowing with goodness. Dwelling in the things that are good and not on the things that could go wrong.
I had so many different emotions today and wish I could have explained more of them. One way for me to express them is by sharing a few photos of my little loves - photos of them, from today ❤️
