I remember sitting down talking to my best friend Alisha when I was first pregnant with Emmett. I said something along the lines of, "I still want to have my identity. Just because I have a baby, I don't want to lose touch with who I am or lose my identity in being a mom." 👶 But the fact is, the first moment you lay eyes on your child, your whole world does change. It changes you as a person. It changes your soul. It forces you to make sacrifices and give up some things in order to gain others. ✨ This little ham is 9 months old today, and I have no idea where the time has gone. He continues to shape my life into something I never imagined was possible and fill my heart with exploding love and admiration. The fact is, I have changed. I'm not first anymore. My business isn't first anymore. And that's not a bad thing. Because for everything that I have given up, I have gained an extra giggle, an extra snuggle, and an extra amount of love in my heart. 💗 #bubby #boymom #mommasboy
