So if you were to even ask me what I did today I'm not sure what my response would be. The past few months have been a whirl wind of absolute awesome, exhausting crazy with the addition of Jack. I have labeled him as the 'high maintenance baby.' The little dude is usually attached to one of our hips and staunchly opposed to nap time in any form. I can say from when his eyes open to the moment they shut (and there was much rejoicing) it's full steam ahead.
The dude has brought such joy as the new addition to the Patterson family and it's amazing how dependent one little person can be. I am learning about not only little Jack, but myself. The past three months have definitely tried me in ways I couldn't have fathomed, but I am loving so very much being a mom. Even when I drive aimlessly in my car at all hours of the day in hopes of a reprieve of crying or those little puffy eyes fighting off exhaustion.
As his personality is beginning to develop we're learning that he isn't totally stoked about the ocean (at least not with his first Atlantic experience), the dude loves smoothed blueberries and he is a total snuggle fest during bath time. Even though I'm learning that I probably won't leave the house without some form of drool on my shirt or pants for the next two years or that I really have no control of what lies ahead each 24 hours, it's a journey that I'm overwhelmingly blessed to be on. I'm thankful, grateful and humbled to be on this really epic road called life.
