At Home.

I have to say that I love being a Momma. I truly do. It is a magnificent feeling, something that trumps all other feelings, really. I also have to say that I love being a stay-at-home Momma, too. I never, and I mean never, pictured myself as a stay-at-home Mom, but here I am. It shocks me, still, that I enjoy it so much. All the lovely moments. All the daily newness. And the constant learning, which doesn't surprise me so much. I loved university and still miss it. I love watching his little fingers investigate day-to-day items and see his mind mull over and solve problems. It is amazing. It makes me proud and I can't really say that I've been that kind of proud before.

It helps, I'm certain, that my wee man is the best wee man. He has been such a laid back baby and always so damn patient. I know that he couldn't get that trait from me! His demeanor is exactly why we are planning to try for our next baby right away soon. We are hoping that wee man will be between 2 and 2 1/2 when the next baby is born. Mostly, that is why I stayed home. We knew we wanted to have another baby soon, so we didn't see reason for me to head back to work. And, I started my art business, which fits perfectly with my stay-at-home Momma life. Regarding that, so far, Etsy has been great. The craft sales: 1 down, 2 to go. We'll see how they pan out in the end.

I just cannot understand how anyone could choose to go through life without experiencing the sublime feelings that come with being a parent. Nothing is more important. Now that I am here...I know I belong here. Probably the first time I have felt that in my entire life. I am at home.
